Pupils in Ms Dermodys Sen infants class had great fun for engineers week. As well as learning about the important work of engineers all around us, the boys and girls took on the challenge of building their own model sail boats. We had a great discussion about the different properties of the materials that would be needed. After testing some materials to make sure they were waterproof we also tested the shape of the hull or body of the boat. Click the boat to learn more.

As part of Engineers week every year we invite engineers to visit the school and describe their work to the children. This year we were incredibly lucky to have 2 fascinating visitors in Ian Jones from Intel and Assumpta McGowan from Sennheiser. We are incredibly grateful to both and thank them most sincerely for sharing their expertise with us.  To learn more about their visit please click here
