The STEAM programme culminated with a session where we designed posters and charts to highlight the topics covered in the previous sessions and all that was explored and learned in those.

The class worked hard to create a wonderful display and its great to see teachers and students stopping on their way by to read the posters.

Sixth class took part in the second STEAM workshop. They were learning about CO2 and where it comes from, the effects it has on our planet and all living things, and how we can help the reduce the levels of CO2. The children completed an experiment making CO2 and capturing it. They enjoyed the results of the balloon filling with CO2.

On Tuesday 7th February we took part in the third of our STEAM workshops. Today we talked about the Effect of Climate Change on Nature.

We talked about what Nature supplies to us as humans, eg food, cleans our air (removes carbon dioxide and produces oxygen), pollinates plants, clean water etc. And we watched some videos that showed how nature and wildlife are being affected by climate change and the ways in which we are impacting on those changes.

We made some models of different habitats that we have here on Earth, and chatted about ways that they are suffering from Climate Change and came up with a list of ways we can change our behaviours to help protect these areas.

Here are some of us working on our habitat models and the models themselves.

We also wrote up summaries of what we learned in the workshop.
