Welcome to Willow Tree Community Primary

Year 5's resilience and problem solving was tested to the maximum this week in DT! After building our chassis and adding the mechanical components, we added the electrical components to our electric cars. It’s safe to say it took a LOT of troubleshooting but was so fun and rewarding to see them in action!

Year Three conducted an experiment with shadows yesterday. The children observed and recorded what happened when they moved the torch closer and further away from objects and even a person! The children made predictions and used their rulers to measure the distance and the width of each shadow.
