STEM Week
Year 5 have had an excellent start to our STEM Curriculum week this week. We loved exploring the mechanics of the moving car which Miss Anstey has challenged us to create, before investigating different wheel sizes and types. After testing them and identifying which wheels might be best, we then designed our own vehicles. Our understanding of aerodynamics and forces has really helped us to refine our designs. We were lucky to be visited by Frank Werling, an engineer from Metsa Wood, who gave us excellent advice on our designs and answered our questions. He was very impressed with our curiosity! Keep a look out for our finished pieces before Easter.
