Over a number of lessons the children have designed and built some fantastic vehicles modelled on the car in the story ‘Mr Gumpy’s Motor Car’ by John Burningham. 
 

They have learnt so many new skills which they practised again and again as some decided to extend their original designs and build trailers and caravans for their cars to tow! We have also read the story ‘Mr Gumpy’s Outing’ by John Burningham in which they travel by boat. See the next blog post to see the learning that happened when the children made boats that fit into the trailers they made so that their cars could tow the boats to the water! 
 

Great learning Lower School!
