In Year 3 our project this term is ‘Mighty Metals’ the children have been researching and designing their own cart with wheels. The children even designed their own carts with dimensions on to help them with their designs. The children had to decide which materials would be good to help them to design their own cart. They know that fabric, brick and paper wouldn’t be a good material however they knew that plastic, glass and metal would be a good material for making our own carts. We had to make sure that our wheels on our cart could move and were able to carry the carts weight. 

Year 6 went to Harewood house today on an extremely wet but enjoyable school trip. They learned about rationing as well as how people adapted how they ate, baking their own tasty savoury snacks using wartime ingredients. They also investigated battlefield injuries and common remedies and prevention, even practicing patching each other up when they got injured. Eva was an expert at leg and foot bandaging while Rehan and Narcis were skilled in fashioning makeshift slings!
