The coach will leave school at 9.15 am and return by approximately 3.15 pm. The children will be taking part in a ‘Dinosaurs and Fossils’ session and have time to look round the museum. They will need to take a packed lunch in a small back pack, wear suitable footwear and take a raincoat although everything is undercover.  There is no charge for entry to the museum. On this occasion we are asking for a voluntary contribution of £10.00 per pupil towards the cost of the coach and school will fund the remainder. Please ask Carolyn for a  permission slip  and return to the school office by Monday 1st March.

We hope you enjoy viewing our creations as much as we enjoyed making them.

And of course, like all good engineers we made plan drawings first so we could make the best use of our time and materials when it came to making the real thing!

These plans are best viewed by clicking the first image then using the “Next” link to step through.
