Designing Pulleys
Sixth Class are currently looking at and exploring the uses of ‘Pulleys’ in everyday life. As a first experiment, they had to design a ‘Simple Pulley’ using objects/materials in the room. They quickly discovered that using gravity, by pulling down, helped pull the object upwards!
Making Books with our NEW iPads!!
On Friday sixth class worked in groups of three to produce entertaining digital books using our new iPads. They used the app ‘Book Creator’ to add text, images, drawings and sound. Great fun was had by all. We look forward to using the iPads over the next few weeks!
