They searched for the materials outside and then, as a team, decided how to make it and what colour to paint it. The children asked and answered lots of questions as a team to build their bow and arrow, such as: Should we use string for the bow? How could we fix the bow together? Once the bow and arrow had been made, the children decided that the best one was the one that went the furthest when fired. Well done to Jenson and Elliott whose bow and arrow went the furthest! After that, the children evaluated their design and made suggestions as to how they could make it better. ### Bow and Arrow Challenge in Year Two [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_0943%20-%20Copy.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_0943%20-%20Copy.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_0946%20-%20Copy.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_0946%20-%20Copy.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_0975.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_0975.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_0979.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_0979.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_0980.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_0980.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_0981.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_0981.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_0993.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_0993.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_0997.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_0997.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_1002.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_1002.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_1004.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_1004.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_1012.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_1012.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/19735/IMG_1021.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/19735/IMG_1021.JPG) [ Science in Year 4 ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2018-06-15-16-20-21-science-in-year-4) [Twitter ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2018-06-21-19-48-33-twitter) ### Our School - [Headteacher's Welcome](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/headteacher-s-welcome) - [School Vision ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision) - [Mission Statement](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision/mission-statement) - [Academy Trust Details](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/academy-trust-details) - [Financial Information](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/financial-information) - [History](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/history) - [Our School Day](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/our-school-day) - [Staff list](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/meet-the-staff) - [Job Vacancies](https://recruit.sampeople.co.uk/Jobboard/Trust/aspirationalfutures/00002) - Governors - [Local Governing Board](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/governors) - [Special Educational Needs](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/sen) - [Ofsted](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/performance-reports) - [Performance](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/performance-reports/performance) - [Policies](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/policies) - [British Values Statement](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/british-values-statement) - [General data Protection Regulation (GDPR)](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/data-protection-notice) - [Mental Health & Wellbeing](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/mental-health-wellbeing) - [Equalities](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/equalities) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Gillibrand-Primary-School/61564646614865/?locale=en_GB) - [Staff Email](https://mail.google.com/) - [Staff Use Only](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/staff-use-only) - [OPAL Lunchtimes](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/opal-lunchtimes) - [Sustainability](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/sustainability) ![Gillibrand Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/logo/gillibrand_logo_2.png) #### Gillibrand Primary School Grosvenor Road Chorley PR7 2PJ 01257 274983 #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Gillibrand-Primary-School/61564646614865/?locale=en_GB) © Copyright 2015–2026 Gillibrand Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
