Farm visit
We had a fantastic day out at Manor Park Farm. We have been learning about animals and had a chance to see reptiles, amphibians, mammals and birds. We also visited dinosaur land and had a fun time in the playground.
STEM session
Today, we had Catherine from Eric Wright Civil Engineering who is part of the company constructing the bridge at Zouch. We worked together to construct the tetrahedron, which is used as part of the design in the bridge building. There was amazing team work and fantastic skills being used to construct this. Catherine said “We have been the fastest school to construct this.” Well done to you all!
