Jerome, Danny and Vanessa from BAE systems and the Royal Air Force visited us this morning to inspire the next generation of scientists, technicians and engineers at Barnes Farm. We found out about new technologies such as drone aircraft controlled by ipads, infra red cameras and even invisibility cloaks.

Boys and girls were encouraged to consider a career in science, technology or engineering and judging by the response of the pupils, the future of this important area of our lives is excitingly positive.

Y6 pupils then went on to participate in a workshop involving lego mindstorm robots with a spin-off session in the new ICT Suite
