Today the year 6s worked together to make a MANGONEL (that's a mediaeval machine that was used in warfare).
Each group was given a bag with materials to use (eg. skewers, cardboard, a spoon, newspapers, tape, paperclips, x 10 rubber bands) and a laptop (we needed to see what a mangonel actually looks like).
The end products varied in their 'completedness'!!
Unfortunately none of the machines were able to fire a tennis ball! Back to the drawing board.
