Northumbria University spent the morning with our Year 5 and 6 classes today developing a range of STEM skills through thought-provoking, exciting activities.
Their first task was to use Lego WeDo to build and then adapt a moving vehicle to transport a character in style. The children worked in teams and competed to see whose vehicle would carry the passenger the furthest. The judges found it incredibly hard to pick a winner as all designs were amazing and the teamwork on display was superb. Well done all.
Next, they worked collaboratively to solve a range of maths problems to help famous authors gain back their books before taking part in escape room task that tested their spelling, grammar and punctuation.
All in all, it was a brilliant morning.
