Year 5 STEM Day

On Monday 27th January, Year 5 visited the Belgrave Rooms to participate in a S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) event. As part of the event, we participated in a variety of different activities linked to S.T.E.M such as making and designing wind turbines, finding out about science and sport, trying out different sports technology and using batteries to problem solve with electric model cars. My favourite activity was making a wind turbine. We had to use paper to find the most efficient shape of blades to add to the turbines. After that, we tested them and measured how much energy each turbine produced. I worked with a group of other children from L.E.A.D schools and it was fun to make new friends.
