Hello all!

Our topic this term is inventions and inventors, which gives us lots of opportunities for STEM projects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).

This week we have been focusing on the wheel, and discussing how an inventor thinks.

We made bottle cars, and it took a huge amount of teamwork and problem solving to get the wheels turning freely.

That led us to think about how inventors and engineers can share their ideas so people don’t have to start from scratch every time. We used the measuring skills we’ve been working on in maths to create accurate schematics of our cars.

I love it when our areas of learning overlap like this!
