A short video of the gunpowder-powered cars being launched at just over 110mph on Monday!

[DesignandTechnologyMPS @DesignTechMPS]

Monday was very exciting for some members of Year 5 when we went offsite to Broughton for a visit from Bloodhound Education. We were fascinated by the car which is attempting to break the 1000mph speed record and had a go at constructing our very own gunpowder powered cars!
