In our Science lesson today we started to think more about different sorts of exercise. We looked at two egg-cyclists; one was happy and safe and one was not! We talked about how helmets help to keep our heads safe and how important they are. Miss Williams showed us what might happen to our heads if we don’t wear a helmet by putting Mr Egg onto the table and rolling him off. He didn’t end up looking very healthy – in fact he looked egg-stremely sorry for himself!

Miss Williams challenged us to design and make a helmet for Mr Egg and then experiment with which was the most protective. We all chose our materials carefully and we used our knowledge of looking at real helmets to help us with this. We decided to keep some things the same so that Mr Egg had the same chance in everyone’s helmet. We all agreed Miss Williams would push him each time and it would be from the same table so that the height was the same. Have a look at our photos to find out what happened… some helmets were egg-spertly made and some egg-stremely dangerous!
