Kete: High Impact

In our High Impact Kete we are learning about the physical world and how forces and motion impact on our daily lives.


One of the key contexts we are using for this learning is marble runs. We are learning about potential and kinetic energy, and we are exploring how gravity, friction, wind resistance and centrifugal force all impact on our marble runs.

On Friday 5 May we undertook our first task - to see the longest time we could keep our marbles

in motion.

Here are some photos of our constructions:

                           The team who won the first challenge
                           (at 24.9 seconds) was Team 5:

                           Loishane, Deianira, Jade, Shonte and Nadia.


 Here is a video of their prize-winning marble run in action:

In this digital world it is great to see the girls making good use of books in their learning 😀
