Our P6/7 pupils have launched into our exciting new World Around Us topic ‘Flight’ and have already been busy exploring the science behind how things fly.
Through a series of hands-on STEM projects, the boys and girls investigated the four forces of flight: lift, thrust, weight, and drag. They have applied this understanding to design, build and test their very own paper aeroplanes.
The creativity and engineering skills on show were fantastic, with each group producing a carefully crafted design. We were especially impressed by our furthest-flying plane, which travelled an amazing 8.7 metres! ??
A brilliant start to our topic — we can’t wait to see where our learning takes us next! ??
