Year 3 Pulleys
This week, Green class have had lots of fun learning all about pulleys in DT. They have found out that a pulley is a simple mechanism that allows someone to lift a heavy object more easily. They have explored real life examples such as wells, cranes, and flags rising on their pole. They then had a tremendous morning creating their own pulleys in the classroom using papercups. string, cotton reels and a range of construction materials. They had to record their findings to explain what went well and the changes they would like to make next time.
