From building bridges to constructing models of the Eiffel Tower out of aluminium foil, pupils at Brentwood Park Primary School and their parents and loved ones were putting their STEAM and problem-solving skills to the test as part of Education Week.

Parents, grandparents and other loved ones visited the school on Thursday 18 May.

Grade 2 classroom teacher Sharlene Marsche said the visit marked the first major visit from parents after the Covid pandemic.

“It’s the opportunity for the parents to be involved in their child’s education,” she said.

Running from Sunday 14 May to Saturday 20 May, this year’s theme was ‘Active Learners: Move, Make, Motivate’, celebrating physical activity, hands-on learning and student voice in education.
