Balancing Robot:

This STEM activity explores the concept of gravity. How does gravity impact balance? Students loved creating paper robots and explored how to balance it on one finger!

A Robotic Hand:

The DIY Robot Hand STEAM Activity is a perfect example of the interconnectedness of arts and technology. Not only does this activity encourage engineering exploration and scientific inquiry about robotic technology, but it also requires students to think creatively about designing and building their own robotic hand. Yr 4D and 3B students enjoyed and developed their thinking skills with these mini projects in STEM lessons.

Grade 2

Year 2D students from DLC designed and created a miniature Zen garden for STEM.

The purpose of our tiny Zen garden is to provide children with a small world that encourages the exploration of a variety of natural and manmade materials through relaxing, quiet play and a form of sensory play. Many different gardens were created such as under the sea, fairy park, at the beach and much more.

During Term 4, the year 3 students have been learning about Poetry. Students have

looked at the different forms of poetry, such as: Haiku, Acrostic, Cinquain, Limerick and Narrative Poems. They have enjoyed writing their own Poetry pieces in class.

SCIENCE EXPERIMENT

Grade 3D completed a spoon experiment to investigate and discover if metal was a better conductor of heat than wood, ceramic or plastic. Four similar-sized spoons were placed in a glass of hot water. Using their observational skills, students noted which spoon heated quicker and wrote down their findings.

How we feel about term 4

I predict that term will be as enjoyable as last term. But since we are going to school, it will be even better because we can see each other and do face to face learning.
