SUPER STEAM SISTERS
Last week, Grade 4 had a very successful STEAM Day event based on their current International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) unit, "Rocky Landscape."
Their excitement built as they put on their “Super STEAM Sisters” t-shirts in preparation for a full day of learning in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Each letter in the STEAM acronym was covered throughout the day by students participating in five different stations. The "S" for science station was a mineral experiment. While at the "T" for tech station, students broke geodes open and created an iMovie project about their discoveries. Ms Kirstan Osborne facilitated the "E" for engineering station, designing and building catapults. Marbled rocks were the product of the "A" for arts station. "M" for math meant measuring and weighing mock rocks prior to dissection.
Just for fun, this day was made extra special by rock-themed snacks and the singing of their “Super STEAM Sisters” song, written for the previous STEAM Day.
Students look forward to their next STEAM Day in the spring term, which will focus on the IB PYP unit, "Circle of Life."

QUOTES FROM BH GIRLS ABOUT STEAM DAY
- “Science is my favourite subject, so having a whole day focused on it was amazing.”
- “STEAM day was so much fun!”
- “My favourite part of STEAM Day was building the catapult because it was a lot of fun to work as a team.”
- “In the (Junior School) STEAM lab we broke geodes. I loved smashing it open to find all the crystals inside. It was cool to use a microscope to try to figure out what type of geode it was.”
- “It was the best day ever! Can’t wait for our next STEAM Day!”
