A FUN DAY OF LEARNING

Ripley Court School pupils enjoyed a fun day of maths and science on 13th March when a SATRO team delivered 3 sessions of Fun Maths to Years 3-8 and a session on Pulleys to Year 2. The fast-paced Fun Maths workshop tested the children's knowledge and skills in a practical way as teams of 3 worked together to solve as many puzzles as possible in a time limit. The Pulleys activity provided an opportunity to introduce Forces with a demonstration of how a pulley rig can lift a heavy object. Using the theme of 'Incy Wincy spider' the children made winding mechanisms to pull their spider up a Pringles tube drainpipe. In total 240 children participated during the day.
