Class 9 showcased their AMAZING learning from STEM Week today. Our children talked about their designs, how they made them and their new skills they have gained this week. Well done Class 9! 👏🏻👏🏻 #sjsbscience #sjsbdt #sjsbstem

Reception have been exploring pumpkins. We built our own ramps using equipment from our classroom and outside then predicted which of our pumpkins would roll the farthest. We discussed how we could make the pumpkins roll faster. StJoseph StBede RCPS #SJSBSTEM #UnderstandingTheWorld 🎃

Are all speed bumps effective? During STEM week, Class 6 have been hard at work redesigning and building speed bumps that ensure maximum road safety. They have also come up with some catchy slogans to remind drivers how to keep our community safe! #sjsbstem #sjsbdt

How could we make our playground more exciting? As part of STEM Week, KS1 explored the mechanism of a wheel. We then designed and made a model of a fairground wheel by testing materials first and solving any problems that we came across. #sjsbSTEM #sjsbDT #sjsbmaths #sjsbscience

Reception carried out an investigation to answer the question ‘How can we keep Humpty Dumpy safe?’ 🥚 We predicted which material would best protect his head. We tested the materials by pushing Humpty off the wall whilst wrapped in the chosen materials. StJoseph StBede RCPS #SJSBSTEM

Class 2 received a letter from Baby Bear telling us that Goldilocks had broken his chair🪑We decided to make a new chair for him that wasn’t too hard or too soft, it had to be ‘just right’. We used different materials to make it strong and safe🐻 StJoseph StBede RCPS #SJSBSTEM

What a fabulous start to year 1! The children have settled so well #sjsbClass3 #sjsbAoP #sjsbMaths #sjsbSTEM #sjsbHistory

After learning about VE Day, collaborating to gather ideas, designing, planning, practising, threading and stitching… here is a selection of the incredible sewing skills developed by Class 11 as part of our STEM week StJoseph StBede RCPS! #sjsbSTEM #sjsbDT 🪡🧵

This week’s Farm and Forest: last week’s fire builder coached another child how to do it. In free play children chose to work as a team to build a fantastic hedgehog habitat, dug for treasure, made lunch for worms or baked fruits on the fire. #sjsbSTEM Eco-Schools England The Wildlife Trusts

Thank you to everyone who donated items for our outdoor STEM area. As you can see the children are putting it to good use. What an amazing change to lunchtimes. sjsbSTEM #sjsbDT #sjsbSJSB #sjsbCLM

Reception have made their own houses from a variety of materials today, to make sure the big bad wolf doesn’t get the three little pigs! We found out that the bricks were the strongest and kept the pigs safe! StJoseph StBede RCPS #SJSBEnglish #SJSBEYFS #SJSBSTEM #UnderstandingTheWorld

In Design Technology we have been looking at Pavillions and how we can build our own stable structures. Using toothpicks and sweets, we fashioned (relatively) steady structures and reinforced them so they wouldn’t collapse! #sjsbDT #SJSBSTEM #STEM Kapow Primary

Our new areas of provision have been a hit today! It’s fair to say that #class3sjsb are already full Christmas spirit StJoseph StBede RCPS #sjsbAoP #sjsbSTEM #sjsbEnglish #sjsbSMSC

Nursery have explored what happens to the #GingerbreadMan as he crosses the river! We used words like wet, soggy, crumble and dissolve 🦊💦 #sjsbSTEM #sjsbScience #BritishScienceWeek StJoseph StBede RCPS Mrs Ellison

Take a look at the fantastic creations from #sjsbclass10 as part of STEM week. The children have researched, planned, measured, designed, stitched and evaluated their own VE Day bunting #sjsbart #sjsbdt #sjsbstem StJoseph StBede RCPS

What an exciting morning listening to our children speak so eloquently about their #SjsbSTEM week projects. Such a range of design briefs, knowledge and skills on display #sjsbdt #sjsbscience StJoseph StBede RCPS

We have had a fantastic start to our #STEM week at #sjsb 😃In #EYFS we have redesigned the dinner tray to have wheels to make it easier to take our food back to our table. #SJSBSTEM

Nursery have conducted an investigation into which material would best protect Humpty Dumpty, we made predictions then tested them out by dropping Humpty off a wall! #NurseryRhymeWeek #sjsbUtW #sjsbSTEM Mrs Ellison StJoseph StBede RCPS

We are so excited for our STEM week presentations StJoseph StBede RCPS The hall is filled with amazing creations. We can’t wait to hear how they were designed, created and what has been produced to promote them. #sjsbSTEM #STEM

Nursery have been busy building their own houses for the three little pigs. We used different materials and tested our houses using a hair dryer, we had to make sure they were strong and sturdy! 🧱🪵🐷 #sjsbSTEM #sjsbUtW Mrs Ellison StJoseph StBede RCPS St Teresa of Calcutta CAT
