Y6 STEM week

Date: 5th Jul 2022 @ 5:25pm

This week, Year 6 were taught by our digital leaders all about online safety and computational thinking. In the lesson, the children had to recap what they knew about online safety, work in teams to instruct each other through mazes and summarise their knowledge in a fun Kahoot quiz! Year 6 have also spent some time learning about 'Carbon Footprints'. In this lesson, they explored their own carbon footprints and decided on tips on how they can reduce their carbon footprints. Towards the end of the week, Year 6 worked in teams on a STEM activity involving creating their own miniature 'Titanic' boats. They had to try to adapt their 'boat' to prevent it from sinking. We timed the ones that lasted the longest and discussed how this was due to surface area, mass and buoyancy.
