Primary Engineer!
1st July 2025Mr Schofield
A few weeks ago, children in Year 5 engaged with Primary Engineer and Siemens to work on a project to build a working locomotive, using new tools and skills to develop and create a ‘train’ locomotive that progressed their knowledge of Design, Technology and Science.
The children can all be very proud to say they worked in small teams to build working locomotives that were able to travel in straight lines (as on a track) and carry a small load. Myself and the other teachers were extremely impressed with how brilliantly everyone engaged with the work and took care to ensure their products fitted the brief.
Then – today – three children were selected to attend the celebration event where they were interviewed about the development of the design, their involvement in improving the quality of the working parts, and tested its usefulness in carrying a load on a straight line – just like a real train! They were a credit to the school and presented us beautifully with their ‘Flying Scotsman’ inspired design, making links to our coal mining expedition and Doncaster.
Well done year 5!
