On Friday, Year 6 enjoyed an exciting Rocket Workshop led by Ian Rawlings, an engineer from Transport for London. Using paper, card and sticky tape, pupils worked in teams to design and build their own rockets and tested them. The workshop was a fantastic opportunity to develop creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills while gaining an insight into careers in engineering and STEM. Thank you Ian for a fantastic day!
