To complete their Science topic on Forces, Year 5 had a challenge to use air resistance to create a parachute that could land their "egg" astronaut safely, in the slowest possible time!  The children followed their own designs, with a few adaptations, and tried to use materials that would give their parachutes the greatest air resistance.  After our testing, the children unwrapped their carefully covered eggs, to reveal whether they had landed intact!  Brilliant scientific work Year 5!  And great fun too!  Mrs Blomeley
