Our Primary Seven pupils recently had an exciting opportunity to take part in a hands-on STEM workshop with Hyster-Yale, giving them a real insight into the world of engineering. During the session, pupils explored what it is like to work in a production line environment, taking on practical challenges that mirrored real-life engineering processes.

Working both independently and as part of a team, the class learned about problem-solving, precision and the importance of collaboration in manufacturing. They discovered how different stages in a production line connect and the vital role each person plays in creating a finished product.

The workshop not only developed their understanding of STEM subjects but also sparked curiosity about future careers in engineering and industry. It was a fantastic experience that brought learning to life and inspired our pupils to think creatively and ambitiously about the world of work.

P6M have been busy creating their own rainforest scenes using natural materials collected from around the school grounds, along with a range of classroom craft resources. Drawing on everything they’ve learned in WAU about rainforest layers, habitats and wildlife, they planned their designs carefully and followed each step through from first sketch to final shoebox masterpiece. Every box is completely unique, and the pupils have loved having the freedom to be creative. The finished scenes look fantastic, and everyone should feel very proud of their creations. Well Done P6M!
