P7 were visited yesterday by Martin Bailey an Engineer from Wyman – \u00a0Gordon in Livingston. After hearing all about his job and how he became an engineer the pupils had their own chance at designing and building rockets. Pupils were split into groups of three or four and set about creating their own rockets. \u00a0Each rocket was given an astronaut (an egg, eggstronaut!) which they had to land safely after their launch.\u00a0After presenting their rockets and features and how they were going to keep their eggstronauts safe they tested their rockets, launching them in the field outside. You will be pleased to hear that all our eggstronauts made it back safely. Well done P7 engineers.<\/p>\n
