@stmarysbridgend Y5/6 will be trying to solve 'A miner problem' today.
Can they raise the coal from underground to the surface?
They'll need to design & build a structure, using #K'NEX, which has a winding mechanism to do the hard work.

[XLWales @XLWales]

@stmarysbridgend Burglars beware!
Today Y6 will make a circuit that will catch a burglar in the act!
Then they'll design & build a house, using #K'NEX.
Can they put their circuit in just the right position to catch the burglar?

[XLWales @XLWales]

@stmarysbridgend Y3 are designing & building a lighthouse today.
First they'll make a circuit & a switch.
Then they'll build a tall tower using #K'NEX before putting the two components together.
