Our final week of Simple Machines at @KingsmeadPri saw the children design, create and test their own designs. Amongst the creations were fire engines, cranes and even an Elf moving machine! #STEM #skillclubs #Engineering #Maths #KS2 #afterschoolclub #cheshire

Such a fun last session of Simple Machines at @Gawsworth_PS ! The children put all their previous learning into action and designed, made and tested their own machines using #kapla or @sphero Blueprint!  #STEM #skillclubs #KS2 #afterschoolclub #Engineering #Maths

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

In our final week of Paper Engineering at @RadbrookSchool  the children designed, made and tested their own marble runs. There was some excellent teamwork on display and the children really enjoyed it! #STEM #Engineering #Maths #KS1 #KS2 #Skillclubs #afterschoolclub

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

Our final week of Paper Engineering @GreenfieldsSch saw the children designing & making marble runs! Their challenge was to see if they could make the fastest run & one that can go fast and slow with the marble still in motion! #STEM #skillclubs #engineering #maths  #KS1 #KS2

We were learning all about inclined planes this week at @KingsmeadPri ! The children found out what they were, why they were useful and then designed, made and tested their own! #STEM #Skillclubs #Engineering #KS2 #afterschoolclub #kapla #knex

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

Some amazing Engineering skills on show last week at @Gawsworth_PS as the children learnt all about inclined planes and why they can be useful. They then put that learning to the test and made their own using #Kapla and Knex. #STEM #skillclubs #Engineering #KS2 #afterschoolclub

Building terrific towers out of paper was the challenge set for our students at @RadbrookSchool this week. In teams they talked through their designs & got to work. Their builds were then tested with #Kapla to see how strong they were! #STEM #Skillclubs #Engineering #Maths

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

Our budding Engineers put all their learning to the test this week at @GreenfieldsSch when they designed and built their own towers. They made sure the towers had strong bases, supports and strong shapes to be able to hold a load of #Kapla! #STEM #Skillclubs #Engineering #Maths

The children at @KingsmeadPri had a great week exploring our new @Sphero #Blueprint equipment to design & build a pulley system. They are the 2nd school to try out the new kit & I think it's safe to say it was a big hit! #STEM #Skillclubs #Engineering #Maths #skillclubs #KS2

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

This week at @Gawsworth_PS the children were the 1st after school club to use the new @sphero Blueprint to design and make pulleys! The children loved being able to use their creativity & have a working simple machine at the end!#STEM #Engineering #Maths #Sphero #Blueprint

A great week @RadbrookSchool learning all about the strength in triangles! The children used #STIXX to build individual Tetrahedrons which they joined together to make a giant one! #STEM #Skillclubs #Engineering #Maths #KS1 #KS2 #afterschoolclub

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

It was all about tetrahedrons this week @GreenfieldsSch as the children built a giant pyramid using #STIXX. There was also a little time at the end for some bridge building using #kapla! #STEM #Skillclubs #Engineering #Maths #KS1 #ks2

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

The children at @KingsmeadPri  learnt all about pulley systems this week and then using #techcard made their own! Each one was tested with #kapla and there was even a little time at the end to use it to make their own designs! #STEM #skillclubs  #KS2 #Engineering #Maths #Science

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

The students at @Gawsworth_PS  made their own simple machines this week. Using #techcard they created a simple pulley system and then put it to the test! They were amazed at how strong they were! #STEM #Engineering #simplemachines #KS1 #KS2 #afterschoolclub #cheshire

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

This week's challenge @RadbrookSchool was to build, out of paper, the longest and strongest bridge between 2 chairs. The children gave great thought to their designs, making sure it was as strong as it could be! #STEM #Skillclubs #Engineering #Maths #KS1 #KS2 #Shrewsbury

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

This week @GreenfieldsSch the children were set the challenge of building the longest and strongest bridge that they could out of paper. They had to work as a team & use what they learnt last week about making paper stronger. #STEM #Skillclubs #Engineering #KS1 #KS2

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

Learning all about Simple Machines this term @KingsmeadPri started with making and testing catapults! The children absolutely loved this session and learnt lots of Science, Engineering and Maths! #STEM #Simplemachines #Engineering #KS1 #ks2

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

Our new topic of 'Simple Machines' got underway @Gawsworth_PS last week and the first session was a bit hit! Making simple catapults and testing them out was great fun and lots of learning happened too! #STEM #Skillclubs #Engineering #simplemachines #afterschoolclub #KS1 #KS2

[Skill Clubs @SkillClubs]

The children were blown away this week @RadbrookSchool when they found out that folding a piece of paper in different ways could make it stronger! Using #kapla the children tested how much 'load' each type of fold could carry & then recorded it. #STEM #Engineering #Skillclubs
