Grand Pier- Weston-Super-Mare

Year 5 had a fantastic day at the Grand Pier. After spending this half term learning all about forces, momentum, gravity and friction they got the chance to experience them for themselves. We started with a talk about the rides, how they work and what forces were used. Then the children had 2 hours to try out as many rides as they could.
