Chillingham Road Engineering Week

Wow, what a week Dan and I have had. Between us we’ve seen the whole school. On Monday, we explored magnetism with Reception and then on the afternoon Year 1 became Naval Architects, designing and building boats. Find out more by clicking here.

We came back on Thursday to work with Y5 where we built some incredible structure out of kNex. Our civil engineering skills went, almost literally, through the roof!

Finally on Friday we spent the morning with Y3 exploring the world of Aeronautical Engineering. Dans put together a page related to flight which you can find here.
