P6/7 finished creating their toy vehicles this morning. They developed many practical skills over the course of this project, such as: woodwork, electronics, and design, to name a few. @ERC_STEM #buildingERCsSTEMpire

P5b were hard at work this morning practising their coding skills. They had to think critically and plan out their algorithms to complete the challenges given to them. @ERC_STEM #buildingERCsSTEMpire

P6/7 were hard at work yesterday. They finished making the frames for their toy vehicles and used their knowledge of electrical circuits to build their own motors. Lots of creative and critical thinking involved. @ERC_STEM #buildingERCsSTEMpire

After looking at old and new technology over the past couple of weeks, P4a designed and created their own new technology that would have a positive impact on our lives. @ERC_STEM #buildingERCsSTEMpire

P7a developed their dexterity and sewing skills by learning how to cross-stitch. They had a go at making their initials. 🧶🪡 @ERC_STEM #buildingERCsSTEMpire

Primary 6/7 were developing their woodworking skills this morning. They have started creating toy vehicles for their engineering project 🚗 They measured the wood, cut them to size, and drilled holes for their axles to eventually go in 🪚 @ERC_STEM #buildingERCsSTEMpire

Some wonderful conversations this afternoon between parents/carers and our pupils, discussing their learning and showing off what they know. @MaidenhillERC @ERC_STEM #buildingERCsSTEMpire

Thank you to those that came along this afternoon to visit our STEM Fair and interact with our pupils. @MaidenhillERC @ERC_STEM #buildingERCsSTEMpire

Taking part in interactive stalls at the STEM fair. @ERC_STEM @MaidenhillERC #buildingERCsSTEMpire

Our learners are busy this morning sharing with their peers all the things they have learnt about sustainability at our STEM Fair. @ERC_STEM #buildingERCsSTEMpire

Join us this afternoon at our STEM Fair and see what we have been learning. @ERC_STEM #buildingERCsSTEMpire

Don't forget to come along to our school STEM Fair on Monday! Our learners have been working hard and have created amazing displays to showcase what they have learned about sustainability. 🍃 P1 - P3 parents 1.35pm - 2.10pm P4 - P7 parents 2.10pm - 2.45pm #buildingERCsSTEMpire

Only 5 days to go till our schools annual STEM Fair! This year's theme is: Sustainability 🌍 Parents/carers are invited to come and see what classes have to share. Info on times will be posted on Friday.

Primary 4a and 4b made posters highlighting the impact technology has on their lives. 🤖 @ERC_STEM @DigiSchoolsERC #buildingERCsSTEMpire

Last week our peers from P5 visited us and asked to make a bird box with us. We worked together and shared our knowledge of woodwork. We showed them how to use the hammer and the saw and helped them with the design @MaidenhillSTEM @MaidenhillERC @FroebelFriends @FroebelTrust

Primary 4a and 4b used their knowledge of coding micro:bits in a creative way today! They designed and made their own "Tech Art" 🤖🎨 @microbit_edu @ERC_STEM @DigiSchoolsERC @DigiLearnScot #buildingERCsSTEMpire
