On Friday 13th<\/sup> March, P2\/3 had a very special visit from four employees of local Engineering company Xodus.\u00a0 They told us a little about their jobs \u2013 turning oil into useful things like toothpaste, petrol and plastic \u2013 and showed us how to filter dirty water using different layers of materials.\u00a0 Next, they set us a challenge!\u00a0 We had to make valves (a special name for a tap) using only paper cups, paper, sellotape and scissors!\u00a0 We had to be able to turn our valves on and off so that lentils could come out of our cups.<\/p>\n

We also had time to work with the group leader Caroline.\u00a0 She taught us about oil and water \u2013 we learned that they don\u2019t like to mix and made our own colourful separators to take home!<\/p>\n

We had great fun learning about the interesting things Engineers can do in their jobs and all of our valves and separators worked.\u00a0Watch this space for the next generation of Engineers from Riverbank!<\/p>\n

Have a look at our photos to see how hard we worked, how much fun we had and what we made!<\/p>\n

We would like to thank the Engineer Volunteers from Xodus for their time and expertise in making these activities such an enjoyable learning experience for Riverbank’s pupils.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
