Pringles Tubes (empty) were being put to good use in this half day event for 18 students, a mix of Years 7, 8 and 9 at Wishmore Cross in Chobham. They were building lighthouses and being Circuit Detectives with fault-finding boards. The session was led by Jeremy Owen, supported by 3 of our volunteers. All the students particpated to some extent and really enjoyed the activity. Jeremy was especially impressed by how some students customised their lighthouse.
The teachers commented that the event was informative and engaging for their students, that it provided an opportunity for some good team-work and that many of the boys enjoyed themselves.
Volunteers were delighted with the great results.
"Thank you so much for a great morning building lighthouses and being circuit detectives. Even though the boys were very lively they did enjoy themselves. "I am pleased with my lighthouse, I enjoyed putting the light on and making it work"
"I enjoyed decorating the plate with real rocks"
"It was fun stripping the wire and making the circuit"
"I really liked the detective bit, it was hard but I found out what was wrong"
