Mrs Boyle told us about what kind of technology there was in the 1980s and 90s and how it’s changed so much over the years.
We did a STEM challenge this week which was called the Roly Poly challenge. We used paper plates and toilet rolls or kitchen roll tubes to make a wheel. We then videod these rolling in the corridor to see how far they would roll. Most of them worked very well!
