As part of a whole school literacy initiative, we are having a focus week using the book The Journey. To hook the children in Year 3 we covered our doors in red and put a question mark. Needless to say the children had many questions, were curious and some even hesitant to even open their classroom door!
Year 3 have been building their own cars in D.T. Once built they were used to investigate the effects of friction. to do this the children rolled the cars down a series of different ramps which each had a different surface texture. Sponge, wood, sandpaper and carpet. Before beginning their investigation they made a series of predictions about which surfaces would create the most friction. Then the fun began ! Take a look at the pictures below:
