STEM ambassador visits to school
In order to promote a love of Science and to raise the profile of Science in school we study both male and female inspirational Scientists from history and have regular opportunities to work alongside real life modern day Scientists including STEM ambassadors. Here are some photographs of STEM ambassadors working with our children. We have had visits from the RAF and Marine Engineers on several occasions, as well as STEM ambassadors who helped us learn about 'electricity', 'earth and space,' 'evolution,' 'rocks and fossils,' 'everyday materials,' 'human body,' 'lifecycles / changes' and 'forces and friction'. Doctors from the Mid-Yorkshire Hospital Trust visit various classes throughout the year to deliver sessions on muscular / skeletal systems, digestive systems, heart / circulatory system as well as healthy lifestyles. In addition, STEM ambassadors have delivered whole-school assemblies.
Every class (including EYFS) has a minimum of one STEM visitor per year. Several classes also have trips and visits linked to Science e.g. Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Stanley Marsh Nature Reserve, The Deep, Scarborough.
