Pupils build their own model satellites

The theme has been space and the aim of the week is to spark children’s enthusiasm and celebrate all things scientific and technological, with some maths and engineering thrown in.

Families were challenged to build a vehicle that would transport a chocolate bar to a fixed target, and demonstrate a scientific understanding, accuracy and durability.

An amazing array of ideas were tested, with the Hodson family winning the competition.
