Thames Class - Crazy Catapults!

This week the whole school celebrated the This is Engineering Day on the 6th November by taking part in a variety of STEM activities.In Thames Class we worked in groups to make a catapult using only a cup, a plastic spoon, 6 lolly sticks, 4 elastic bands, tape and string. The children could decide which equipment they used and were given time to test and alter their designs. I was really impressed with how well all the children worked in their groups and with the catapults they built. We finished our session with a competition to see who could catapult a die the furthest.
