Year 6 STEM visit to Crookwell High School
In the morning I had to get up really early. Then we drove to the bus stop. It was really exciting because we were getting off at a new stop at the High School.
When everyone had arrived we went into the hall. A nice lady told us what we were doing. Then we had an acknowledgement to country. After that, we were split into groups. The colour groups were Green, Red, Blue, Orange, Yellow and Purple. I was in Purple.
Then we all went off to go into our groups. A year seven was asked to go to each group to help out. Our year seven helper was Chelsea. The task was to design a car. First, we got a piece of paper and drew a car. We were allowed to make it as crazy as we wanted. I will tell you, they were all so crazy. Then we went back to our groups and designed the car. After time was up, we started making the cars using only: milk lids, straws, kebab sticks, a hot glue gun, and a hot stick that burns holes into things. Then time was up and we went outside and had a car race. Everyone did so well (our car lost both rounds).
After that, we were all so hungry. People had brought money to use at the canteen and the canteen was packed with good stuff. There were slushies and zooper doopers and juice and many more things. Overall I think it was a pretty successful day.

On the 1st of March, St Mary's Yr 6 and some other schools went to C.H.S at 9:30 - 11:00. I walked there and I saw 2 of my friends, Sam and Levi. We did STEM with Mrs Kemp. We went into groups. I was with Eli, Charlotte, Emmet and McKenzie. We made a car with bottles and some other things like caps, straws, and balloons. We all had different ideas and we struggled to put all the ideas together to design our car. We raced against the other teams. Then we went out to lunch and I got a slushy. We went on the bus and came back to school. It was a great day.
