On Thursday Year 5 took part in an online STEM day run by Smallpeice in partnership with the Royal Airforce Youth Stem. Their task was to design, make and test three  gliders to find out which shape wing and tail (empennage) helped the glider to fly the furthest and quickest. We were impressed with the teamwork and patience the children showed towards their peers, whilst completing the task. They also discussed what sustainability is and designed their own sustainable aircraft of the future. We are enjoying a very practical week and have begun to make our Macbeth inspired character puppets. Thank you to the parents who visited today to help with our sewing skills.
