On 25th January Year 2 celebrated STEAM Day based on the theme Material Matters. There was a carousel of interesting activities for Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and ART. This included identifying the properties of materials in Science, Creating an animated bridge using scratch software in Technology, constructing a model of a bridge/pier using a variety of materials in Engineering. In Arts writing a poem describing the properties of materials and creating a jingle for it and in Maths identifying which 3D shape column was the strongest to make pillars for a pier or a bridge to hold up the most weight. Overall it was an enriching learning experience which children thoroughly enjoyed.
