In this unit of work children learn about wheels and axles and how these are used to make a moving vehicle. They begin by investigating to vehicles to see how they work. They then learn about the invention of the wheel and its impact on ancient civilisations. Children are taught woodworking skills to create a simple wooden frame that is used as the chassis for their vehicle. Children bring in a soft toy from home and design a vehicle for the toy to take part in a class race across the classroom.
