F1 Challenge Race Day
It's lights out, away we go!
What a great day of racing, presenting and teamwork on Tuesday, as we reached the pinnacle of the Year 5 F1 project. The children have worked so hard over the last 9 weeks; designing and manufacturing their racing cars, researching aerodynamics, building a portfolio of learning and writing speeches to present their designs. Today was the chance to show all of these things off. The teams did this brilliantly - wowing the judges with their knowledge and understanding across a range of STEM disciplines.
The judging panel were made up from engineers from GKN, local business owners and school governors, who all said what a pleasure it was witness the children's enthusiasm and excitement. They were impressed by the skills on show, and by the children's ability to explain the tricky concepts involved.
A huge thank you to Isabella, Josh and Noah from GKN, and to Tracy and Doug for their help on the day, as well as to all of the teachers and staff who assisted with making a brilliant event for all involved.
We are pleased to announce the following results from the day:
A huge well done to all of the teams that took part.
We are also excited to announce that both Piercing Pythons and Flaming Falcons have now been invited to take part in the Regional Finals in the F1 in Schools F1 Challenge. We look forward to letting you know how they get on.
