Yesterday my friends and I made a pulley. The first thing you do is that you connect your wheel with a grove to your pulley block. Then you poke a hole through either side of the cup and pull a string through either side, then connect string with a cup pn the bottom to your pulley block. Then you have yourself a pulley! After we made the pulley Miss judged our pulleys and Calum’s group won!
On Wednesday we were making pulleys and it was lots of fun. Everyone enjoyed making pulleys and they all worked!
This week we have been designing pulleys to link in with our topic ‘Rollercoaster’. We used all sorts of equipment such as: pulley blocks, plastic cups, skewers etc… Once we had built them we all compared our builds and voted for a first, second and third. After that in our science books we wrote a step by step guide about how to make a pulley.
On Wednesday 27th March the class had to make pulley systems in pairs. I worked with Ffion. We could use a pulley system set and recycled materials and string, sellotape/sticky tape and scissors.
Last week Mr Stone from Oakwood Theme Park came to talk to us about our questions to link in with our topic ‘Rollercoaster’. We set up an interview where we would ask him questions about the park while Mrs Cooper videoed them. Once we had done this, we transcribed the event by listening to the conversation on a device with a peer/friend. All in all our class really enjoyed the visit and we are really excited about maybe having a possible visit to Oakwood Theme Park!

On 28th March our class made a pulley out of junk material. My partner was L.S When we finished our pulley we showed the class how it worked. Later that day we had to write instructions on how we made our pulley, it was so much fun!
Two days ago year 5/6 made their very own pulleys with scrap materials e.g plastic bottles and containers. Some of the pulleys were very good for example William, Rocco, Calum and Liam. Mrs Cooper said she was going to have a vote who could make the best pulley 1st place would have 15 Dojos, 2nd place would have 10 Dojos and 3rd place would have 5 Dojos. So in 1st place was William, Rocco, Calum and Liam’s group, 2nd place was Ffion and Charlotte and in 3rd place was Thomas James Bevan and Noah.
This week we made pulleys out of lots of bits and bobs and had to lift materials inside a container using our pulleys. We had to wrap the string around the wheel and tie it to our container. My one wasn’t as successful as others but it still worked really well.
Yesterday me and my peer created a pulley system! We used string, a water bottle and wheels with a groove. We cut two holes in the water bottle and put string through. Next we placed the string on the wheel and tested it! Finally we also wrote a guide on how to make a pulley in our books.
On Wednesday the yr 5/6 class made a pulley system because they have been learning about pulleys, cogs and levers. They split up into groups to make a pulley. They used items from a tray and junk items. They used things like string, wheels, pulley blocks and cups. Some groups consisted of 5 people down to 2. After that we set up a set of instructions to make a pulley system. They also included a list of items you will need to make a pulley system. These included scissors, sello tape/ sticky tape, skewers and other necessary items. They also made a diagram of the pulley system they made.
