We’ve had a wonderful day in Year 2 exploring Christmas STEM ideas! We tested materials to see which would make the best beard for Santa Claus, some of them were very long! We also had a go at giving Santa a new look on the interactive whiteboard.
We were visited by Leanne Mee from the STEM workshop. We pretended to be Santa’s elves and designed, made and tested rockets to help Santa make his international visits! Well done to our winning team!
We finished the day by investigating dissolving. We tested different liquids to see which one would make a candy cane dissolve the quickest. The hot water made the bottom of the candy cane dissolve completely!
A great day – there are definitely some future scientists, mathematicians and engineers in Year 2!
