The government is providing additional funding of circa £150 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – will be allocated to primary schools. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
Yesterday, Carlton class in Year 2 had their STEM Drop Down Day and they carried out three experiments. They learned about magnets, volcanoes and shadows.
From exploring CO2 explosions in fizzy drinks to shadow puppets and learning about magnets - the STEM day I Chrysler class could not have been more exciting!
Year 2 Cooper class had a fantastic STEM day yesterday. We made shadow puppets using torches, explored magnetic and non-magnetic items and used fizzy drinks and mentos to make a volcano! We then made posters to show our experiments.
