Lego Technic is a line of Lego using interconnecting plastic rods and parts. The purpose of Lego Technic is to create more advanced models with cool functions (moving parts and motors etc), compared to the traditional brick building you do with normal Lego.

Lego Technic was introduced as the Expert Builder series and originally called Technical Sets in 1977 and was renamed Technic in 1982.

Technic sets often have lots of special pieces, such as gears, axles, and pins. Other special pieces include beams and plates with holes in them, through which the axles could be installed. Some sets also come with pneumatic pieces or electric motors.

At Christmas I got a Lego Technic Chevrolet corvette ZR1 it took me two days to build and it looks amazing! When it moves the engine parts move and the wheels and axles turn like the real car!!

Some examples of other Lego Technic sets are.

We planted our cress about a week ago, and it has grown so much over a small period of time. We also are playing a game of catch everyday for two weeks to see if we can beat our record. Our record so far is 186 hopefully we can beat it! We have set ourselves until Friday the 12th of March to try!…Martha and Emlyn

Last week as part of the STEM lesson I made dragon eggs.

To do this I first boiled eggs for 10 minutes and then cooled them in cold water.

I then prepared five mugs with water and a few drops of food colouring in each.

When the eggs had cooled I rolled them about to break the shells and popped each into a mug and put them in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, I took the eggs out of the mugs and peeled the shells off.  The pattern on the egg underneath was amazing, they really did look like a dragons egg.  I was very pleased with the result.

My finished Dragon Eggs – which one is your favourite?

I got a quad bike for Christmas. I got it from my Mum and Dad and my Granddad and it is very fun. It is red and it is a Honda and it goes very fast. We go on it in the fields. It is at our new house. we have got a trailer with it too. We have got a little basket on it for one of my 3 sisters to go in. While someone is driving one of us can only can go in the basket at a time.

At the weekend we went to our new house. We were tidying up the shed and inside! My dad says that we are going to be in by July! I am so excited and I also get my own room. We might get some sheep and maybe a horse. We are going to have a big wooden shed by the pond so we can watch all of the ducks in the pond. If we had friends round we could play down in the shed too (when we are allowed).
