Our Year 8 pupils were amazing teachers and role models, leading fun activities for younger pupils. They helped Pre-Prep make colourful Rainbow Caterpillars, which were turned into butterflies by adding wings. Years 3 and 4 experimented with changing sound pitch using water in test tubes, even matching notes on a melodica! Year 8 also taught Years 3-7 about how animals adapt to their environments.
Years 5 and 6 created paper moths and tried to hide them using clever colours and patterns. They then raced to find each other’s moths. The older pupils adapted axolotls in Minecraft during Computing, encouraging them to evolve based on their surroundings.
In STEM Club, students built trebuchets – almost ready to test! They also had fun with a camouflage challenge, trying to outsmart each other as hiders and seekers. Year 5 and 6 enjoyed exciting STEM shows at Sevenoaks School, including a Liquid Nitrogen Show and a Royal Institution Show, which left everyone amazed and inspired.
The week ended with a fantastic STEM Fair where Year 7 and 8 shared their research on Change and Adaptation. Their stalls included fun activities like Scalextric races, volcanoes, quizzes, and dinosaur models – a great way to engage everyone!
A busy, exciting week filled with learning and fun – memories to last a lifetime!
