Year 1 have enjoyed a sunny day of learning at Waltham Abbey Gardens. They learned about what seeds need to grow and the different parts of plants that we eat. Several of the children said they would love to visit again with their families. #StNicksYear1 #StNicksOpportunity

Year 3 had the best time on their STEM trip to Stevenage yesterday. They created their own animations. They had a talk about life on Mars and the technology used on the planet. We made rockets and then have a race to see how high they could fly! #StNicksDiscovery #StNicksSTEM

Today, Year 3 designed and made their own bread rolls. They had to work in groups and measure their ingredients. Their teamwork and sensible attitude make the lesson a huge success. Their bread rolls were amazing! #StNicksLower #StNicksFoodtech #StNicksCreative #StNicksSchool

Year 3 were very lucky this afternoon to have a visit from paleontologist and former Saint Nick’s pupil Tadgh. He talked to the children about dinosaurs and fossils. The children were very captivated and asked lots of questions. 🦖 #SaintNicksLower #SaintNicksYear3

Eco Club has been busy transforming the eco garden after the previous storms destroyed the allotment area. They have redesigned the vegetable and planting area and made mini greenhouses ready for planting seeds next week. #StNicksEcoClub #StNicksCreativity #StNicks #GreenFlag

Eco club were discussing their new topic, Global Citizenship. They worked hard generating positive ideas on ways to plan more fundraising events and ways to support different charities. We then went to see our new baby lambs. #StNicksEcoClub #StNicksLower #StNicksDiscovery
