Science and Technology AOLE

Our latest whole school Science and Technology topic was called ‘Machines and Mechanisms’. The pupils learned a variety of skills with a hands-on approach to their learning. The topic lent itself to designing, creating, investigation and evaluating. We had ‘Track and Train Play’ visit the school for our nursery and reception pupils and a ‘Fun at the Fair’ topic immersion day (with a focus on mechanisms) for our older pupils to kick start our topic! Our pupils had the opportunity to design and build model cars, rockets and puppets to name a few, as well as working alongside staff from Cardiff Metropolitan University on a project linked to green powered cars. We have also been fortunate to have some incredible visitors to our school to share their experiences of working in the machines and mechanisms industry - diolch!

Fun at the Fair 

Our topic Fun at the Fair focused on developing learners Design and Technology skills as well as Science and Computing skills. We were extremely fortunate to work alongside Cardiff Metropolitan University for this project and we are very excited to be participating in an upcoming exhibition at Cardiff Met to celebrate the work we have completed and the skills we have developed. Year 6 will also be racing the Green Powered car they have built!  Watch this space for updates.
