Fairground Visit

In September we visited the fair at Crown Meadows in Blandford.  We looked at the art work and lights that decorate the rides, and studied how the rides work. The waltzer ride pictured above turns round on sets of wheels.  GB and HP (editors)

Ferris Wheels

On Thursday 16 September Year 5 made Ferris wheels by using K`NEX. First we had to think about how it would move, with a pair of wheels spinning on an axle. We also had to make the stand because otherwise it would fall over, then we made the frame of the Ferris wheel. Next we made chairs to hang down for people to sit on.  Finally, for the finishing touch we made a ticket booth for people to pay.

A Visit to the Fairground

Well done Year 5! We spent a cracking morning at the fairground in Blandford.

The amount of concentration and observation that went on was brilliant. It was great to see just how much the group have grown-up as a whole and I have high hopes for some outstanding work from this theme. I can't wait to see what questions they will need answering as part of their learning...
