The Great Cabot Egg Race 2014

This week is Design and Technology week.  Year 6 were set the following challenge:

Design a vehicle with wheels that will move by itself and can carry an egg.  The challenge is to make the eggs travel the furthest possible distance.

The children worked in pairs or threes to design and make the egg carrier.  We hope to do some final testing later this week!
