As scientists and designers, class 5 have been investigating how levers and pulleys work and how they help move something with a smaller amount of force. Soon we will be making our own mine shafts with working lifts!

Year 5 have made an excellent start to reading at home this year and we already have a few superstar readers! Will it be you next week?
