This afternoon the Key Stage 1 STEM club became systems engineers and built amazing marble runs this morning. Visit our NUSTEM at home marble run page to find out how to build a marble run at home using cardboard and tape.
Today Year 1 became naval architects and designed and made boats. To try our activity at home using a piece of tin foil and some coins, go to our NUSTEM at home foil boats page.
As part of their prize for winning the cress growing competition, Year 2 became systems engineers and built amazing marble runs this morning. Visit our NUSTEM at home marble run page to find out how to build a marble run at home using cardboard and tape.
This afternoon, Year 4 became mechanical engineers and built marble runs. They investigated the forces used and tried to slow the marble down. Visit our NUSTEM at home marble run page to find out how to build a marble run at home using cardboard and tape.

Today children in Reception became meteorologists, thinking about and investigating different types of weather. We have some weather related activities you might like to try at home:
Reflective mobiles- make a sun catcher for your window sill or garden using anything shiny that you can find.
Wind socks- discover which direction the wind is blowing from and how hard it is blowing using plastic bags and empty pop bottles.
Sundials- tell the time using the sun, a pencil and a piece of card.
This week Reception and Nursery are thinking about the weather, so today we have been meteorologists, thinking about and investigating different types of weather. We have some activities you might like to do at home:

Today Year 2 became naval architects and designed and built boats, while Year 4 became mechanical engineers and looked at the forces involved in marble runs. For more activities to try at home, go to our marble run activity, or our foil boats activity.
Today Nursery and Reception have been lighting engineers, investigating light and shadows. We also had a family workshop after school where we made shadow tubes. To make your own shadow tubes go to our STEM at home page.
This afternoon Reception class investigated magnets and made a magnetic game. If you would like to try some STEM activities at home, go to https://nustem.uk/stem-at-home/
