Today we worked with the P2 Bumblebees to make parachutes as part of our Flight topic. We had great fun and learned about how parachutes work and why they are important.
We started by watching a video of someone doing a parachute jump and we discussed why you needed to wear a parachute. Someone said it was "so you could float down safely" which we all thought was a great explanation.
We then worked in threes to make our parachutes using the materials given.
We then got to test them out by dropping them down from the art room. As well as dropping our parachutes we also dropped a plastic toy on its own to see what difference a parachute makes.
