And just like that, it's the end of the school year! And the last STEM Club of 2024. We went behind the scenes to the Vehicle Conservation Centre and to the Workshops to meet the engineers who work hard to maintain our running fleet! @STEMLearningUK #Dorset #Tanks #STEM

This weeks STEM Club was all about vehicle rides, setting off pop-rockets and making projectiles! The winning team sent their projectile over 5 metres setting a new STEM Club record! Well done, team Chieftain! @STEMLearningUK @STEMclubs

STEM Club had lots of fun yesterday learning all about Archaeology with the wonderful Chris Copson. Pupils dressed as an Iron Age Warrior, excavated finds and catalogued artefacts. Some items were 2000 years old! @STEMLearningUK @STEMclubs @ChrisKCopson #Archaeology

In the last STEM Club of the year, pupils had a tour of our Conservation Workshop and VCC. They learnt about how the vehicles are maintained and preserved by meeting our engineers and apprentices. Have a wonderful Summer Year 6s! @STEMclubs #STEMeducation
