CAKE SALE  

Today we had a cake sale to raise money for the car. We raised £74.40. Thank you to the people who purchased  the cakes. 

The winner of the car designs has been announced to the car club from the whole school voting that took place.

We will be creating Eva's bunny design, with a few modifications. 

A massive congratulations to Eva on her design and for all the team designs. 

There are more adventures coming up

Watch this space! 

Voting week!

All of Years 1- 6 got involved this week in voting for the bodywork design they believe would be the best to try and win  the best design prize.

The models had been on display all week with explanations of why the design had been chosen and what materials they would use to build it.

The group had researched the options and had to take into account how protective it was, sustainable it was, the cost of the materials, had weight of the materials, and the difficulty rating for each type.

On Friday, Miss Irving took some impartial Year 3 volunteers around to each class so that everyone had the opportunity to vote. 

The votes have been counted...

And will be announced when the Year 6 return from their trip.

I wonder if the chosen design is the one you voted for?

Today we worked on our piece of information to explain our design ideas. We thought about what sustainable materials each of us are going to use so everyone will know who to vote for. We will present our cars to the school next week and everyone will be able to vote for the car design they like the most.

To make sure we can buy the materials we need we are having a fundraiser. We agreed that we would have a cake sale and made posters for our fundraiser that we are holding on the  9/12/22 .

Hi everyone!

In this meeting we have been finishing our prototypes. We thought about what materials we may use and how sustainable each one is. We will be putting our models with some information up in the school after the holiday and let people vote for which design they think would be the best to build.  Everyone has done an amazing job, it will be quite hard to decide!

We meet again...

Today the new team met together for the first time. There was a buzz of excitement as we went through the plan for the year. Each member will take on a variety of roles as engineers, drivers, designers, fundraisers, photographers, writers, and the many challenges each of these roles hold. 

As the rain was pretty heavy, the car stayed tucked away and the team began to build and think about the bodywork that we will work on creating this term. 

The design must:

• protect the driver
• use or reuse materials in a sustainable way
• choose a style fun/exciting/professional 

When each team member has completed their designs, we will share them with the school and carry out a vote for their favourite model.

Hello from the race team!
Today (Friday 25th March) we were fundraising by getting people to pay us for a shot on our Nerf gun rally. We were helping the kids to shoot the targets and reload the guns for them. We gave the kids sweets as rewards if they knocked all the cups down and did well in the Nerf gun rally. Even Miss Walsh came and had a go. We raised £24.70 towards our goal – this is enough to buy two pairs of gloves!
Thank you to everyone who came by and took part.
