Primary Engineer

Primary 3 were busy with the next step of their vehicles this week - using specific measuring techniques, we used hand saws to saw dowels that will eventually be where we attach the wheels! #STEM @primaryengineer

P6/7 had a visit from an engineer from Rolls Royce as part of their participation in the Primary Engineer Vehicles program. Thank you for coming to speak with us about engineering and answering all our questions! @primaryengineer @RollsRoyce #STEM
