Really excited to share my “12 Days of Science at Christmas” STEM activity booklet with my S1 classes. Inside are 12 Christmas experiments which can be easily done at home. I then relate the skills developed to real life STEM jobs. #STEMeducation

It’s been a while… I’ve been looking after my new classroom pet for a few months now, around 10 Indian stick insects 🐜 pupils are so invested in them. 🙌🏼

S1’s problem solved their way through creating real life circuits, here they’ve drawn and set up school hall lights in a parallel circuit. ⚡️
