Dear Bloggers,

I hope you enjoyed all the wonderful photos of Year 2 wholeheartedly throwing themselves into their lego lessons.  Today’s challenge was to build a spinning top launcher and to investigate what gear combination made the top move the fastest and  explain why.  Children then carried out their own design modifications with very impressive results.  Free standing launchers that propelled multiple tops simultaneously were created.  One group even made a device that was operated by a very efficient ‘flicking mechanism’. Well done year 2.
