Year 6 Residential
Girls In Engineering Vesta Technology Day
Wow, fantastic news we won! Well done to Jess, Isabelle, Beth and Boe for their fantastic efforts at the Vestas Technology Day.
Two girls from year 5 and two from year 6 were selected to take part in an event organised by Portsmouth High School. It took place at Vestas and is aimed to encourage women into engineering. The girls were against other teams from the Island and had to design a transportation system. The girls showed fantastic imagination and design skills. Here is their report. Great news, Yarmouth Primary have won a business idea competition for girls. At Vestas two year 5 and two year 6 girls from lots of primary schools took part. We had to make a monorail to transport 4 Freddos (mini chocolate bars). We had a box of various materials which included glue, duct tape, paper, scissors etc. We were given wheels attached to wood and had to make a compartment for the Freddos. We made a display of our business idea. Once we had finished we had to present it to everyone including the judges. Then they announced the winners and it was us!
We had a great time. Report by Jess, Isabelle, Beth and Boe.
