Over the past two days, year 6 have been visiting Silverstone, home of British motor sport! This was to ignite our learning for our next project ‘Aerodynamics’, which coincides with our last project for VW.
The children had a tour of the Silverstone grounds, including looking at a map of the different areas of the track and the history relating to those different areas, a tour of the pit lanes, the control centre and we even got to stand on the podium!
We has an exciting tour of the Porsche Centre and even got to sit in some Aston Martins, Ferraris and single seater race cars! We finished the morning by having a tour round a working garage.
After lunch, we had an exciting workshop afternoon making balloon powered cars and improving our cars to make our cars the fastest! We even had a race at the end!
What a fantastic day! A special thank you to the two parents for helping us on this day, it is very much appreciated. Another thank you to Victoria at Silverstone for a well run and fun day out out. After this exciting start, we can’t wait to see where our next project takes us…
