Our team went to Silverstone for the day, showcasing our vehicle (as the only primary school at the event) we met teams from around Europe and found out what it takes to get race ready.

We have power!

As the session was coming to an end, the team managed to get all the bolts tightened and the batteries all wired in. At 16.03PM our race car moved!
The team are elated as their hard work is bearing fruit. We have ordered a set of safety gear ready for next Friday so that the team can have a go at driving the vehicle too.
A massive well done to all involved and to everyone who has sponsored us, bought cakes, come to our fundraisers.
Just look at what can be achieved!

Our Greenpower project - Term 5 week 2: big build day

To make this project a success, everyone has to be getting involved. Getting the parts in line for bolts can take some sweat! What can I do to help? This question made the build so much better today. Learning about different components. Progress on the roll bar Belt in, wheels turning, bolts tightened.

Greenpower Goblin Go-Kart: Building the seat

Finding the correct parts. Listing is useful! Team chair working together. Voila! Test 1 for stability Test 2 Test 3 Success!

Gobin Go-Kart: Getting the wheels on.

Today's exciting section of the build gets the front wheels on. The back wheels are proving more complicated... Which way??? Alongside building the team is planning and running fundraisers to buy the kit they need. Wheels on... But not turning. First job next time!

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.
