Learning & Growing Together To Be The Best We Can Be

Marvellous Machines

In the Marvellous Machines project, we will learn about technology that is part of our daily lives. The children will explore various machines, learn about how machines help us and find out about how machines have changed and developed over time. They will learn about products that use electricity to make them work and explore magnetic and non-magnetic materials.
