During National STEM Week (8th March 2024), Huncoat Primary School’s Year 5 & 6 students delved into engineering with a special visitor, exploring gliders. They learned about careers in engineering and tackled challenging vocabulary related to flight. Applying their knowledge, they designed and launched gliders, measuring their flight distances for success.
Meanwhile, classes across all levels embraced STEM challenges tied to literature for World Book Day.
Reception mixed colours, Year 1 built pig houses, Year 2 explored habitats, Year 3 crafted Roman baskets, Year 4 focused on recycling, Year 5 explored Amazon lifecycles, and Year 6 dissected lamb’s hearts. It’s been a week of discovery and creativity, inspiring the next generation of innovators!
