As part of the expedition – Regs to Riches: What lies within the castle walls? we have been designing and making catapults.

First, we discussed how to make this a fair test.

Testing our catapults

This week Y2 have been busy making catapults with skewers and marshmallows and today we were busy testing and evaluating how successful and purposeful they were.

We made sure to make it a fair test and we used a metre stick, dienes and our maths skills to measure how far our pom pom projectiles went. We had such a great time!

We Care Wednesday – Friendship

We looked at the guiding question – How do I hold my friends to account?

During our crew session, we talked about the qualities we need in good friendships and how we can be honest and hold each other to account.

Our crew used characters from books and films to help explain friendship qualities.
