SUPER STEM stars at an Inverclyde primary school got the chance to show their families what they're learning about in a fun-filled workshop. 

Kilmacolm Primary School hosted its first ever parent and pupil workshops as part of its whole-school focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. 

Boys and girls in primary one welcomed parents and grandparents into the class to help with making robots, and for a 'stay and play' session.

Wendy added: "All of the parents and grandparents have been really excited about getting into the school and finding out what the youngsters are learning about.

"Every class will be invited in for a workshop over the year, and we'll run a different challenge every week.

"Pupils in primary one had been learning about robots, so we knew that would be a good activity for them. 

"We're really keen to encourage parent partnerships and want to develop that even more."

The activity gave the primary one pupils a chance to see the STEM lab for the first time.

She said the support has had great support from Gill Neeson, primary science development officer at Inverclyde Council. 

Wendy added: "We track attainment across the school and there are so many children that excel in these kinds of subjects, so it's great to be able to see the progress made. 

"We want to inspire other schools to do similar things."

She said: "It's been wonderful being able to be here today with my grandson and make our own robot. 

"It's been lovely having the opportunity to come in and work alongside him."
