Every Tuesday at lunchtime you will find a group of explorers experiencing the wonders of STEM Club!

This term it has been the turn of the Year 1 and 2 children to participate in activities that engage their minds in the fields of science, technology, engineering and maths. Two or three studentsper class were invited to attend and we have undertaken the following activities: making stars, creating a volcano, investigating, creating and observing bird feeders, making mazes and coding a 'mouse' through the maze.
