Last Wednesday we beat the rain to hold a combined parents/carers and y1/2 STEM Club session. We were also very appreciate of one pupil’s grandparents who had to take two buses to get to us.
First of all we held a family scavenger hunt in the school grounds. This was similar to the one the pupils did last week but with a few surprise additions! Mrs Irvin put her creative hat on and made us a dragonfly, caterpillar, butterfly and snail all on sticks that were then hidden ‘in plain sight’ to bring an extra challenge to the scavenger hunt.
After that, we all moved into the Wildlife Garden where Mr Mallison had been carefully watching over our fire pit fire. Marshmallows on sticks were handed out and the children toasted them in small groups and then sandwiched them between two chocolate biscuits to create S’mores treats. The adults enjoyed these too! Mrs Gell, our fab school cook, had also made buttered jacket potatoes for an extra delicious treat.
It really was an amazing end to our y1/2 STEM Club sessions as we have focussed very much on using our outdoor spaces and Wildlife Garden and addressing environmental issues.
