P5 have been working very hard to design and create a tractor using recycled materials. This STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Maths) activity was part of our farming topic where we had looked more closely at machinery used in farming.

P5’s challenge was to make a model tractor which could move and we are delighted to report that all tractors made, did fit this brief!

We discussed our design brief and collaborated in small groups to decide which materials we would use. We then started to create our models. We analysed and evaluated our models as we went and realised we needed, at times, to make some alterations to our original designs.
