Our first Fun Friday Family STEM Afternoon launched last Friday with coding 💻, creativity 🎨 and hands-on fun! Families explored engineering concepts like friction ⚙️ through fun LEGO builds 🧱—learning together the fun way. @ERC_STEM#EngineeringSkills#LEGO#UNCRC29
A huge success! Our LfS pupil leaders didn’t just talk about sustainability—they modelled and shared their lived experiences. An enthusiastic, enjoyable day of learning, action & connection across clusters and communities.

Our children enjoyed leading a Food Waste workshop at the Sustainability Festival today. The festival was a great success and they were proud to have taken part in planning this festival, as well as learning more about how we can care for our common home. @ERC_STEM
In Numeracy, Primary 4 have been using questionnaires to collect data and exploring the ways in which our findings can be presented 📊📈 after creating tally tables we took our findings outdoors and collected and measured a range of natural materials 🌳🌿 @ERC_STEM
Our primary schools came into the department today to take part in the Creating Engineers Cluster Challenge.
8 teams worked hard to create their exercise bikes with functioning pedals.
Well done to our winners from St. Joseph’s and our runners up from St. Cadocs.

P1, P2 and P7 had a visit from Rennie Mason, park ranger, this morning! We loved hearing about the different things you do in your job and asking you questions. We especially enjoyed looking at all the equipment you use! 🌳🌿 @ERC_STEM
