• Year 2 become engineers

  Wed 27 Apr 2022 Mrs Ewens

  We had the most amazing time this week when BAE Systems delivered a zoom lesson to our Year 2 class.  We had to predict what an engineer would look like and we all had our own ideas.  Then we looked at some of the amazing machines and technology BAE are involved in creating.  After we learned about all the amazing and exciting things engineers are involved in, we became engineers ourselves! 

  First we had a challenge to try and create the tallest tower that we could but... we only had 3 pieces of paper and 1 metre of masking tape!  Take a look at some of our amazing towers, they were amazing.

  After this, we watched a short tory about Rapunzel https://www.aerocontact.com/videos/90279-rapunzel-engineering-fairy-tales We had to be creative and find ways to rescue Rapunzel.  WE had a pack each with lolly sticks, paper, string, tape and pegs.  Look at our amazing designs and finished products.

  Today our children were treated to a fantastic whole school Mad Science Assembly where they saw science come to life before their very eyes. Titled "A Journey to Mars", the children embarked on a mission to land on Mars using real-life rocket fuel! The children were amazed by all the experiments that happened in front of them. The Mad Science Club will start next half term and if you would like any further information, please contact the school office.
