This week we have based our learning on Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). Children learnt about waterwheels,
A water wheel is a machine for converting the energy of flowing or falling water into useful forms of power.
In computing, children went onto a software app to design their own model of a waterwheel. They ensured to add all elements required, to be an effective waterwheel.

Below are a few completed models of their waterwheel designs.

What have waterwheels been used for over the years?
