Today we had lots of fun designing and building Lego cars. We worked with a partner communicating and cooperating. Our task was to build a Lego car that could travel down a ramp without breaking. We were given 4 wheels and a box of mixed Lego.
Have a look at the fun we had and our finished models.We can't wait to test them on different ramps.
