Wider curriculum: STEM Engineering challenge: 'Lend a Helping Hand'
Using the Design Process worksheet, reflect upon your prototype: does it meet the criteria? Is it affordable? Could it be made better? How? What would you differently next time? Be sure to write in full sentences and please share pictures of your prototype with your teachers.
Attention: There are two prizes going to be given out for the Wider Curriculum STEM Parachute Investigation. The prizes will be for:
Best parachute designs (including all tested models)

Prizes will be quarantined in school until they can be delivered to the winner's address. The STEM parachute investigation involves multiple lessons which will run from today up to next Friday (19/6/20). The deadline for the competition is 26/6/20. Pictures of completed work and designs to be sent to class teachers for Miss Pearson to assess. Any questions, just ask me (Miss Pearson), and good luck!

Intervention resources:
If your child took part in Turnabout, Toe-By-Toe or spellings/reading interventions in school then you can now use these resources below to help support your child's progress. The children who took part in Turnabout and Toe-by-Toe interventions should know what to do. However, there are instructions sheets for each activity to help adults assist their children through these activities. If you don't have access to a printer to print the sheets off then there's no problem in your child copying down the coordinates game grid and using any objects to hand (not necessarily counters) in order to play it.
