We were lucky enough to take part in a hands-on STEM workshop run by the Engineering Development Trust (EDT) – and what a challenge it was! Armed with just straws and a single metre of sticky tape, the children set about building the strongest structure they could. It was amazing to see how quickly their ideas took shape – triangles, cubes and some very creative designs all made an appearance! Then came the big one: design and build the *longest* rollercoaster. Cue lots of teamwork, trial and error, and some serious determination. There were moments of collapse and frustration, but the resilience and problem-solving on show was something to be proud of. Definitely some engineers of the future in our midst – well done, Year 4! ### STEM Workshop [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/IMG_9634.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/IMG_9634.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/IMG_9635.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/IMG_9635.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/IMG_9636.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/IMG_9636.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/IMG_9637.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/IMG_9637.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/F4BBB432-CEF0-4C57-B9C3-806B8F508458-25026-0000037F2E240367.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/F4BBB432-CEF0-4C57-B9C3-806B8F508458-25026-0000037F2E240367.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/IMG_9632.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/IMG_9632.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/687D6EFA-B6ED-48BC-954B-046008BEBBF7-25026-0000037F49572366.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/687D6EFA-B6ED-48BC-954B-046008BEBBF7-25026-0000037F49572366.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/A43664DE-7363-4934-8969-DA4EF0F43E49-25026-0000037F4DEAB302.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/A43664DE-7363-4934-8969-DA4EF0F43E49-25026-0000037F4DEAB302.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/B0DD924A-D9D7-4C66-B466-A4F36F6221D0-25026-0000037F634269D7.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/B0DD924A-D9D7-4C66-B466-A4F36F6221D0-25026-0000037F634269D7.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/B3B36BF4-D5CC-40D0-B138-4DEE7CBF1A29-25026-0000037F41DB5344.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/B3B36BF4-D5CC-40D0-B138-4DEE7CBF1A29-25026-0000037F41DB5344.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/3F56BAD6-C956-4B3C-9041-9EE6808FE760-25026-0000037F5E31EE05.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/3F56BAD6-C956-4B3C-9041-9EE6808FE760-25026-0000037F5E31EE05.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/stem-workshop/43EA1A09-4884-4F04-9970-66B6CBAB7AD2-25026-0000037F38A8CE56.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/stem-workshop/43EA1A09-4884-4F04-9970-66B6CBAB7AD2-25026-0000037F38A8CE56.jpeg) [Year 4](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-4) [Maths](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/maths) [Science](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/science) [DT](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/dt) [SMSC & Cultural Capital](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/smsc-cultural-capital) [Personal Development](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/personal-development) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/Scotland_Team.jpg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-06-23-16-11-00-key-stage-2-sports-day) Previous ### [Key Stage 2 Sports Day!](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-06-23-16-11-00-key-stage-2-sports-day) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_4542.jpeg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-07-01-11-55-00-year-5-and-the-co-crew) Next ### [Year 5 and the CO Crew](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-07-01-11-55-00-year-5-and-the-co-crew) ### School Life -
