P5i had fun taking part in today’s challenge and came up with some interesting catapults. Danyal, Matthew, Ellie and Mia came up with the winning design. Their catapult sent a mini marshmallow flying through the air and landing 330cms away from the starting point.
Well done everyone. And thanks to the parents who came along. They seemed to enjoy being part of the challenge too.
