Years 3 and 5 have been learning all about forces in Science this term and today had the opportunity to see forces in action in a Circus Skills show. Nick from Shooting Stars demonstrated his amazing juggling skills and explained how different types of force are needed on different pieces of juggling equipment: pushes, pulls, twists and gravity. We also saw how friction is involved by watching him ride his unicycles.

Mrs Halliwell even joined in by riding a mini bicycle and she proved to be very skillful!

We later took part in workshops to put our forces knowledge into practise and learn some circus skills ourselves.
