Getting into gear in year 5

This morning we had a great time looking at levers, pulleys and gears.

First we set up a seesaw and looked at how easier it was to lift a child with a little finger!

Then it was off to the Music studio where Mr Toogood our caretaker showed us how he used a pulley to lift big boxes up into the storage loft.

Our volunteer tried lifting a box over her head and then used the pulley which she said was the easiest!

Back in the Hall, Mr Wahab showed us his bicycle. It had 21 gears on it.
