The Penpol Times, Year 5

2,557

On Wednesday, Year 5 zipped up to Hayle Academy for a fantastic, fun filled STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) morning. The children had an excellent morning learning how to cook, make solar powered cars, do advanced maths, science and art.

As well as this being an opportunity to learn some fantastic new skills, the children were able to acquaint themselves with the ‘big’ school, meet new people and meet the teachers that they might be taught by one day.

A fantastic time was had by everyone and the children came back with smiles on their faces and freshly cooked muffins in their bags.
