Upper Primary have had a creative last few weeks of term. They have been working together as teams to construct a model rollercoaster. They put together creative designs incorporating hills, loops, curves and funnels. The groups tested their designs with a marble. This was a great way for the children to explore physics and engineering concepts in a fun and practical way whilst also promoting collaborative effort.
We were also lucky enough to work with Lara on the beautiful decorative Gnomes, which featured at Carols on the Green last Friday. Some students were cutting fabric, sewing with the machine and stuffing the Gnomes. Others were part of a Gnome production line, folding paper hats, creating beards with wool and gluing wooden noses. Everyone loved playing a part in their creation.
