We were delighted on Friday to welcome students from Keio Yokohama Elementary School in Japan. They had been taking part in exciting lessons, trips and events all week and this was their last lesson whilst on their visit to England. Time for some STEAM fun! They were challenged to make slime in different colours and then test their slime to find out more about it’s rather strange properties. We looked at, and timed, the slime flowing in our slime races, measured how high it could bounce, and also had a good play of course. It was then time to build some spaghetti towers. The students found this much more tricky and as they only had 25 spaghetti sticks and 10 marshmallows in each team, it was challenging. They were tasked with building the tallest freestanding tower. Tricky decisions had to be made – all in a day’s work in the STEAM space!
Bye – bye to you all. We loved seeing you and we look forward to seeing you again in October in Japan!
