Build a Bus
KS1: Technology & Mathematics
In this session students will become real engineers. By using gallery investigation and helping to build our magnetic bus, children will learn the different parts that make up a bus and the shapes that can be discovered from within.
Please Note: Pupils help to complete a magnetic 2 dimensional bus as the " Build" in this session to strengthen their understanding of the properties of shapes. Pupils no longer build a 3 dimensional foam bus.
