We then spent some time testing out our gliders, seeing how far it would travel and how quickly, meaning we were able to work out the speed they were travelling.

STEM event - Road to RIAT

In the afternoon, we took part in a competition to design a sustainable aircraft of the future. When designing we had to consider the following:

*What will it be made out of?

*How will it be powered?

*What makes it stand out above all of the others?

*How is it sustainable?

Farnworth Matters - A visit from Azeem Amir.

We were lucky enough to be visited by Azeem, a visually impaired football player, who has played for England!

He taught us about the difficulties of being visually impaired and how he overcomes these. He showed us his purchase of Meta glasses, which has helped him to live a very fulfilled life!

We tried a few different activities to see what it is like to have a lack of sight and/or a lack of hearing.
