Hi Ciara,

I adore your idea of pre teaching the 6th class to prepare them for peer tutoring and agree that this activity would be ideal for this. They would all really enjoy working on this project over  a number of weeks.

It is evident that STEM education in the classroom is a dynamic, hands-on approach to learning that integrates the four disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and mathematics. Stem emphasises their interconnectedness encouraging students to apply concepts from one area to another. The teacher acts more as a facilitator rather than the more traditional instructor role.

After reading this paper it has made me reflect on my own teaching. The need to encourage a mindset of innovation amongst my students. A STEM classroom is collaborative and project- based. I need to encourage and foster more  team work which in turn will develop critical thinking, creativity and problem solving skills.

I really enjoyed reviewing the weather vs Climate and Nose High in the Sky resource. What  fun and engaging resources to bring to the classroom. I love the link between birthdays and weather this just invites the children straight into the lesson with a connection they can all make. I am very much looking forward to making and designing weather instruments and bringing the class outside regularly to record and analyse the results.

Thanks for sharing this resource. I love using picture books to introduce a topic.

I will be adding this to my library.
Thanks again

Hello

my name is Ciara and I am in Set this year. My favourite fact about space is that it is completely silent.
