Olympic winners in 4D
Congratulations to our winners in 4D on achieving great results in our Willow Tree Olympics. We are really looking forward to our closing ceremony today.
Will it be bronze, silver or gold in Y1/2B? 🏅
As part of our DT project, we designed, made and evaluated our own Olympic medals in Y1/2B. We decided our medals must have the Olympic rings and the goddess of victory, Nike. They should be shiny and durable. They could have a ribbon attached, to wear around the neck. 🏅
May the force be with you Y1/2B 🎾⚽️
Our Science investigation on push and pull forces (in sports) generated the question: How much force will make a ball travel the furthest? 🎾⚽️
Mo Farah in F2, can you do the Mo Bot?
