Year 3 ‘Edible Garden’ - growing, yielding and tasting a variety of herbs! Chives were a firm favourite

Year 3 Pulleys and Levers

Year 2 - Roly Poly Toys

We tested different ways of fixing the body to the wheels

We tested different ways of fixing the body to the wheels

We tested different ways of fixing the body to the wheels

Then we evaluated the different ways of fixing

Then we evaluated the different ways of fixing, thinking about strength

We then tested out what the body of our Roly Poly Toy would look like, testing designs

After the designing process, we made our final products!

Then we evaluated them against our design critera

Finished Roly Poly Toys!

Year 5 Christmas Bottle Rockets

Year 3 Juggling Balls

Year 3 have been investigating and evaluating products to find the most suitable juggling ball. They then began to design annotated sketches following design criteria.

Today we have created prototypes using a sock, conducted tests to explore the suitability of different fillings and decided on the filling we will use for our juggling balls!

Year 2 STEM

See our work in motion - Year 2 wheels and mechanisms

Y4/5 designed and made elastic band powered buggies - whose goes the furthest?

Whole school experience science in engineering from Rolls Royce

Spacecraft engineers testing their inventions.

Year 5 got creative and designed a space capsule that will safeguard an Eggnaut as it lands back on Earth!

We can confirm that the mission was accomplished with the full safety and return of Eggnauts!
