ENRICHMENT
WEEK
Space engineers, conservationists & zoologists!
This year during enrichment week each year group
was set a different STEM challenge.
Year 7 students took on the role of zoologists and
conservationists and had the challenge of building a
zoo. This involved students researching the important
roles zoos play in the protection of animals. Students
then worked in groups to design a zoo and calculate
the cost for animals, food and ticket prices. This
allowed students to develop their creativity skills and
team work skills.
Year 8 students had an exciting day as space
engineers. They were set two different tasks linked to
the theme of space. Firstly, students designed and
tested rockets made from paper and card.
