🎉 STEM Day at St Marks: Building Tomorrow's Innovators! 🚀

We’re thrilled to share the exciting events from our recent STEM Day at St Marks! With the generous support of Beard Construction, our pupils had the opportunity to engage in hands-on workshops run by the incredible STEM charity SATRO.

Throughout the day, Key Stage 2 students rolled up their sleeves to build and code various amazing projects! 🛠️🔧

• 🌬️ Windmills: Students explored basic engineering principles and coding while creating their very own windmills.
• 🚗 Motion-Sensored Cars: Pupils programmed LEGO cars with sensors, learning about robotics and coding.
• 🌍 Earthquake Machines: Our budding engineers constructed models to simulate earthquakes, gaining insight into earth sciences and engineering challenges.

🕵️‍♀️ Year 1 & 2 Solve the Mystery of Goldilocks and the Three Bears! 🐻✨

Our adventurous Year 1 and Year 2 pupils stepped into the shoes of detectives as they embarked on a thrilling investigation titled CSI Goldilocks! Their mission? To uncover the mystery of who devoured Baby Bear's porridge.

Spoiler alert: The evidence led our little Sherlocks through a series of fun and engaging activities.

As young minds explored critical thinking and problem-solving skills, they also immersed themselves in the beloved tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

🧐💡 Our young detectives not only had a blast, but they also learned valuable lessons about teamwork, observation, and the joy of working scientifically!

The enthusiasm was palpable as they collaborated, problem-solved, and, most importantly, had a blast! Special thanks to Beard Construction for funding this incredible opportunity that encourages our children to think critically and creatively.

Together, we are building a brighter future for our young innovators! Join us in celebrating their hard work and creativity!
