Swallowtails at Test Valley

On Monday 13th June, Year 4 were lucky enough to be invited to Test Valley School to take part in some egg-siting challenges! In the morning, their task was to create a safety pod for an egg which is dropped from several metres. The children thoroughly enjoyed learning the science behind eggs and found out some egg-cellent facts!

 

During the afternoon it was time to blast off! The children created their own rocket which would be catapulted into the air. They used various tools including sanding machines, saws and vices in order to create their rockets and we are delighted to say that 2 children in Swallowtails won the competition! The children represented the school wonderfully as always and very much enjoyed the fun and fact filled day!
