Project 181: Cars

 As we had just bought our first car, it seemed a good idea to make cars the topic of this week's project.

Along with learning about the history of the car, the children learned about how the engine works and the sorts of regular checks you need to make, checking the oil, coolant fluid, brake fluid, and tyre tread. 

They put together a couple of k'nex cars that used different types of power:

And they did a wide range of Twinkl worksheets on cars, including crosswords, wordsearches, designing cars of the future, and a woven police car craft. 

We also managed to squeeze in watching Cars and Cars 2.
