• Years 5 & 6 design new race cars!

  Tue 15 Nov 2022 Mrs Mills

  As part of our year 5 & 6 science unit about 'Forces' we were visited by Gemma Benson who works in the motor racing industry. We learnt all about how cars are really streamlined to ensure there is minimal air resistance and they can go super fast! The children then designed their own race cars. Thank you to Mrs Benson for giving up her time to help us.
