Here are our Mars Rover designs. We worked in teams to think about the challenges and how we would overcome them.
Mars Day and the SpaceLab talk from Mr Barbour
At our recent visit to the Box, we had a chance to take part in different Science experiments linked to bridges, breakwaters and lighthouses. We had a chance to make a fog horn which was our favourite activity as well as being able to make a bridge and to see how effective candle powered lighthouses would have been.
We had Adrian from Blast to the Past to visit us to run a WW2 workshop. We had a chance to listen to Churchill’s speeches and then right our own; to play a game with propaganda posters; to re-enact the Blitz bombing with a smoke machine and lights and finally to make our own WW2 plans.
Visit to the Roman Fort at Calstock with thanks for Kat and Ann for showing us around, Mr Caboche and Mrs Wickett for driving and to Mrs White and Mrs Thomson for coming along.
