In Year 5 and 6 recently, the children have been learning all about forces. Our topic has centred around the idea of a theme park called ‘Forceland’. The children thought carefully about the forces in action on a ‘Bungee Jump’ and ‘Rolling car ride’. We carried out a number of investigations to find the best surfaces needed, to create a fun but safe ride, as well as the best strength of a bungee rope.

One of our pupils went even further with the topic and created her own Force Land! We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did – although we think it needs a Risk Assessment!
