Bawdsey School Car Race
Year 5 and 6 at Bawdsey School, made cars in D and T (design and technology.) We made them out of wood, card and boxes. We also had to add a battery pack and a motor, to make the car work. Class 3 took about 4 to 5 weeks on this project.
On the 20th of December 2012, we ran a series of races. The first three cars that crossed the line first went through to the final. As tension built in the final, the close and exciting race was won by Abby G and Lucy K. We also had a prize for the best designed car, the winner of that was Tabby S, Oonagh and Bianka S.
It was hard but we got there in the end. It was amazing to see all the cars driving up the hall to the finish line, we didn’t think it would be this close!
