This is the first of a few posts to celebrate another successful annual 'Drive to Design' Day at school. It was simply the best day - children were excited before and during the day, they were so engaged in producing cars of their own and interviewing car and vehicle owners about their cars.

Our first post is to extend thanks for all those who supported the event - all of you who came showed our children such excellent values and the children really appreciated the care, warmth and generosity of your time. As adults, we would like to say what a pleasure you were to welcome to our school and we have all been humbled by how much many of you did. Luke a key person in the local car enthusiast group - more to follow - but to have arranged, planned, supported so much and to have bought prizes was above and beyond for our children. To the car owners who took days off, travelled many miles and shared information about your cars, this was superb. You taught our children about commitment to achieve great things including rebuilding scrapped cars and making magical things happen with your own. Thank you to the owner of the 1954 Ford Popular who produced a wonderful sticker for every child. To our local Performance Car Specialist Hampton Car Sales, to bring your Lamborghini Urus and trust us with it (and the key which I loved telling everyone that I - Miss Jenkins -had!) was amazing and time and time again you support our community events. To Vindis Group the children loved the Audi that came and the team was wonderful with our children. Thank you to Mr Hall for bringing your amazing BMW car and lego models to share, to Mr O'Callaghan for both your time and your Nissan Skyline GTR (Mr Haddon's dream car!) and to Mr Doggett for the children's adventure of a huge recovery truck. Coach Tia Rhino Sports Academy thank you for bringing your car - the children loved exploring it and listening to it roar and to Miss Wilcox and your father, Mr Wilcox for your wonderful cars. To Miss Lacey and family - thank you for the amazing arrival of a flat bed with racing cars. To all of you - it was such a brilliant day. We have more to follow and hopefully drone footage of the event arranged by the local car club. On a personal note, it was great to see you all in assembly receiving your first school certificate since you left school yourself! Thanks to our wonderful Friends of Blisworth School for refreshments and all those of you who came.

And lastly, thank you to Mr Haddon for being brave, courageous and creative to create such magical memories for our children.
