F1 in Primary Schools: Thumbs and eyes on the starter

Today the Senior F1 in Schools boys took a trip to Wyvern Prep to teach the Year 5 boys a little bit about the F1 in Primary Schools program. Throughout the day the Senior leaders guided the Junior boys through a number of different activities to better their understanding about F1 in Schools and learn about aerodynamics as well as different F1 techniques.

During the day the boys had the opportunity to practice their speed on the F1 starting gates. The four fastest boys from each class were then selected and had the chance to race for the title of fastest F1 in Primary Schools boy in Year 5. A series of nail-biting races occurred before Max (5J) proved to be the fastest, on reaction time, in the Year.

The boys also spent a portion of their day constructing their very own F1 in Primary Schools model cars which they are keen to race at the Senior School on Friday.

At the end of the day one boy from each class was chosen to win the Aesthetics Award for the best looking F1 in Primary Schools car. Congratulations to Fletcher (5J), Maximus (5M), Zach (5B) and Vince (5P) for securing  ‘most visually appealing model cars’ of the day.

In addition, the boys created F1 in Primary Schools posters that showcased their model cars. Congratulations to Max (5B), Vince (5P), Henry (5M) and Thomas (5J) for the best poster designs.

Well done to all the Wyvern boys who showed great enthusiasm throughout the day.
