This time Eleanor visited us with Kapla blocks. We loved using these to build castles. We tried as best as we could to make them strong. They had to pass the test of being hit by a cannon ball! We had to go back and adapt our designs to make sure they passed!
After that we built drawbridges for our castle moats.
We got the chance to use the MTA kits again and this time we built towers. We have been learning about castles as part of our IDL project. We learned that castles had to be strong to defend against attacks. We also learned that they had to be tall, so that you can see for a long distance from the top. We all came up with such different ideas!
We were very lucky to have Eleanor from the UHI visit us with her MTA kits. These are large engineering kits. We used them to make lots of different shapes. We discovered that triangles are the most structurally strong shape. We adapted other shapes we had made to include triangles to stop them collapsing. We worked in groups and used our team work skills.

We have been learning about gravity this term as part of our Forces and Energy topic. We have learned that gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the Earth. We demonstrated the force of gravity by designing parachutes. We had lots of fun exploring how air resistance can work against the force of gravity by testing out our parachutes outside.
