Students getting crafty at lunchtime

Diana Rendina on her blog site Renovated Learning: Building a culture of creativity and discovery in education defines a  makerspace as " A place where students can gather to create, invent, tinker, explore and discover using a variety of tools and materials."

At St Patrick's we have started the makerspace by having a range of materials trolleys that the students can explore to make Christmas inspired creations.  Students taking part have been from both the middle and senior school. It has shown the true collaborative, inclusive and supportive nature of the students as they help each other and marvel at completed projects.

The makerspace is on each lunchtime until Friday 2 December and will return again in 2017.
