On Wednesday 21 October, nine Stage 1 students were nominated by their Teachers, to participate in a special one-off treat!
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all care was taken re distribution of ingredients and students were able to create, an imaginative Face Biscuit!

As part of Year 5βs Science unit, students explored how engineers and inventors use creativity and problem-solving to make everyday life better. Their learning intention was: We are learning how to use design processes to explore opportunities and develop effective solutions. Given only rubber bands, marbles, and a piece of fabric, students worked collaboratively to design inventions that could help people stay cool on hot summer days. From hats and bonnets to neck protectors, and even a handheld fan weighted down by marbles, our young designers showed innovation, teamwork, and critical thinking. Proving that even simple materials can inspire amazing solutions! ππππππππ
