Engineering Week 2026

9th Mar 2026
To celebrate Engineering Week the children took part in a range of fun, hands-on challenges that encouraged creativity and problem-solving.
They worked together to build the tallest free-standing tower using only paper and sellotape and designed boats from tin foil. The boats were then tested in water to see how much weight they could hold before sinking. There was lots of excitement!
