STEM week

 A small STEM week due to lockdown timing

This year's STEM week at Sandringham School was smaller than it would have been due to it coinciding with the return to school after the second school closure of the year. I took a lead on planning the DT lessons for year 7&8 and liasing with the overall project lead. It was a shame we could not implement some of our whole school ideas but I look forward to next year! 

Using padlet to create a competitive gallery

This year's theme was biodiversity. In DT students were asked to choose from 3 design briefs to  competitive design section of the lesson.

The DT lessons were all tied together across the department using padlet. There were 5 simultaneously taught classes for half a year group at a time totaling 20 classes.  When all classes were complete and all students had uploaded their work an overall winner was chosen. The 3 padlets produced were full of work and students were able to see a live gallery and work being added to them in real time. This created a buzz across the two involved year groups.
