The Lindfield STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) Festival is almost upon us! Next week is the week and the theme of our festival is ‘Igniting Interests!’

Whilst STEAM is regularly a part of each of our Units of Inquiry, this festival provides us with an opportunity to explore STEAM with a greater focus and intensity over the three days of the festival.

During these three days a range of exciting and relevant activities related to each class’ current Unit of Inquiry have been planned and there will be specialist Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths workshops run to complement the work being undertaken during class sessions. As with all our Units of Inquiry the focus is on using our Design Thinking Process to explore and investigate. You will hear a lot more about what your son did during their sessions through their SeeSaw reflections and conversations when they get home. We are sure that their enthusiasm will be evident!

During this festival our Year 6 students will be showcasing their leadership skills by leading and demonstrating a number of science experiments (that they have explored and tested) to all the boys from Kindergarten to Year 5. They will also be assigned to classes in small groups from Kindergarten to Year 5 to assist students with their Unit of Inquiry explorations at various times during the festival. We are very proud of the enthusiasm by which the Year 6 boys have embraced this added responsibility and we look forward to them ‘igniting the interests!’ of all our students.

We will be sharing more detail about the festival as it happens on SPACES and through SeeSaw reflections.
