Our Year 5 and 6 children had a treat yesterday when they were able to join a STEM workshop provided by Silverstone Museum.

The children found about the history of the race track, for example that it was used as a runway for planes in World War 2. The children reactivated their history skills when comparing images from the past and present.

They were also able to see, feel and discuss different objects from motor racing including a fuel cell, race suit, helmet and different tyres.

The children were also told about all the different jobs that are available in Formula 1! A lot of our children were inspired, one wanting to go on to be an engineer and another, a racing driver! Thanks goes to Silverstone for providing this and Children’s University for making it available to our school.
