Marble Mayhem

1st July 2024

Berwick Academy invited our years 3 and 4 to come to a STEM afternoon called ‘marble mayhem’.   The children had a great time and were very impressed with the DT department at the High School.  They were challenged to design a marble run where the marble runs for 10 seconds - closest to 10 seconds wins!  The children did individual designs before agreeing on a team design.  They worked together brilliantly, listening and working together well.  They had a question sheet with general questions from across the curriculum and for every correct answer they could go to the ‘shop’ and purchase more materials - straws, foam, glue etc.  It was a great afternoon for them and they should be proud of themselves.
