In year 6 we have been learning about the the Greco- Persian wars. In Topic, we were trying to persuade the the Athenian Assembly  to prepare for another possible Persian invasion; in science we were fighting on the other side, as Persian engineers, preparing our catapults to besiege the Greek cities.

We planned investigations in to the distance, height and speed of the projectiles fired by these catapults. We then used this information to hit the walls of Greek city.
