Year 7 Rocket Car Challenge
We love a challenge at Mary Hare! This year all of Year 7 have been taking part in the Race for the Line competition, a STEM event which links to the Bloodhound world land speed record project
The competition involves pupils working in teams to design and construct a rocket car
The first round involved pupils building the cars in Design and Technology lessons
Once built, a race day was held on the 18th March
This day was very successful despite a few technical hitches
The fastest time recorded for the 25m run was 1.59 seconds a speed of 55 mph! We are currently waiting to hear if our time qualifies us for the regional final at RAF Benson.This is the 2nd year of the competition and we reached the regional final last year at RAF Odiham and would like to go again or even reach the national final
We will be signing up to take part in the competition for next year and hopefully rolling out some new competitions for Years 8 and 9.
Upcoming events
We have several events throughout the year for parents, pupils and professionals. We know how important it is for you to see our school in action, to meet pupils and staff and to enjoy our hospitality.
