Primary 3 Looking for Forces

Primary 3 really enjoyed the first afternoon of our new science topic, Forces. We learned what a force was and then identified push and pull forces around  the school. We were able to use digital technology to record the examples we could find. We are looking forward to exploring how forces can be changed next week.

They then completed some sequencing activities using the number cards they had collected. This week we hope to go
