STEM Homes!

STEM Homes!


Over the past couple of weeks, Primary 3, Primary 4/3 and Primary 4 have been working with different teachers to solve Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) challenges.

This week, Primary 4 have been learning about the different types of homes that can be found in our local environment. Miss McKenzie challenged them to design and build a home that could be found in Faifley. They worked together and created some fantastic designs using cardboard boxes, tape and decorating materials!


Leah, John, Skye and Lauren built a flat.

Boyd, Lacey and George created a semi-detached house.

Emily, Leon, Aleishia and Hailey made a semi-detached house.

Evan, Brooke and Leigh created a terraced house.

Sasha, Cara, Kian and Libby designed a terraced house.


Brooke, Mille and Allannah created a flat


They put a lot of effort into the back detail (expertly modelled by Brooke!).

The STEM work also related to our Local Environment topic, and has helped us think about the ways in which the land is used in Faifley.

Don’t forget to ask us about our Word Aware words of the week, we are very good at sneaking them into conversation!
