Ospreys have been investigating how far toy cars travelled.

Owen, Declan and Patrick have found out that different things make cars go further.

“The yellow car had little wheels which were fastest because they were the smoothest.”

“This one [the truck] doesn’t go very far, because it has a bent wheel.”

“The fire engine has smooth wheels but is made of wood so it didn’t go as far.”
