@stmarysbridgend Y5/6 will be trying to solve 'A miner problem' today. Can they raise the coal from underground to the surface? They'll need to design & build a structure, using #K'NEX, which has a winding mechanism to do the hard work. #STEM #problemsolving #teamwork

@stmarysbridgend Burglars beware! Today Y6 will make a circuit that will catch a burglar in the act! Then they'll design & build a house, using #K'NEX. Can they put their circuit in just the right position to catch the burglar? #STEM #problemsolving #teamwork

@stmarysbridgend Y3 are designing & building a lighthouse today. First they'll make a circuit & a switch. Then they'll build a tall tower using #K'NEX before putting the two components together. #STEM #problemsolving #teamwork

@stmarysbridgend Y4 will be designing & building a working windmill, using #K'NEX today. It'll have sails, pulleys, cogs/gears & cams. #STEM #problemsolving #teamwork

@stmarysbridgend Y5 are carrying out Switched on! today. They'll make a circuit & a switch. Then they'll try lots of different switches in their circuits. Does a fridge light switch work in the same way as a power switch? #STEM #problemsolving #teamwork

@stmarysbridgend Y2 will be designing & building a Castle using #K'NEX today. It'll need strong walls, a working drawbridge, battlements & defences. #STEM #problemsolving #teamwork

@stmarysbridgend Y1 will be designing & building a Castle using #K'NEX today. It'll need strong walls, a working drawbridge, battlements & defences. #STEM #problemsolving #teamwork

@GellifaelogPri Y4 pupils are carrying out 2 electric workshops today. Switched on! Make a circuit & try different switches. Is a fridge light switch the same as a power switch? Use the circuit to adorn a tower made from #K'NEX to create a Lighthouse. #STEM #problemsolving

@GellifaelogPri Y6 pupils will be carrying out 'Finger on the pulse' today. First we'll investigate the skeleton, muscles, blood vessels & internal organs. Then we'll carry out an investigation into how heart rate varies with different exercises. #STEM #problemsolving #teamwork
