As part of British Science Week, P5 had a fantastic challenge to complete. We had to use recycled materials to build a grandfather clock. That wasn’t all, we had to have a moving mouse just like the nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock!

We explored various ways of making the mouse move but settled on using a circuit which powered a motor with a wheel. I was very impressed with P5’s scientific skills.

Pupils worked in teams to build and decorate their clocks. In their designs they had to ensure there was somewhere for the circuit to sit.

Pupils then created a simple storyboard of the design and manufacturing process and presented their work at assembly. Fantastic P5!
