This year, Aidan and William from Year 5 took part in the Gateshead area final of the Junior Engineers for Britian Knex Challenge, against Katie and Alisha from St. Aidans Primary School. The children had to design a lifting mechanism made from Knex, the model was then judged and tested on its strength, frame and cranking mechanism. Geoff Clack from the Engineers Employers Federation judged the competition and announced Aiden and William the winners.
They went on to represent the Gateshead area in the Regional finals at Sunderland University on 27th June 2008.

Well Done both of you the school is so proud of you!
