In our D and T topic, we have been looking at pneumatics. As part of our unit, we made egg box monsters using an empty egg box, plastic tubing and a balloon. We learnt that when we blew air through the tube, it blew the balloon up inside the box and amazingly pushed then lid open. We had lots of fun making our own designs and testing them out!

Sandford Mill
Today Year 3 have visited Sandford Mill to find out about forces and friction. We tried lots of mini experiments to see how friction works including:
- Dragging a wooden box along the ground
- Moving boxes on different surfaces
- Making lego vehicles move using weights.
We also had a go at making aerodynamic planes out of paper and we tested each one to see which plane was the quickest!
We all learnt so much about forces and friction and had a really good trip!
