In June 2013, our fourth school visit took place. Supporting the CIEC programme
headed by Joanne Rout, in association with University of York, Timothy
Hackworth School in Shildon were guests of our Newton Aycliffe site for the
day. Today we received a selection of letters from the Year 6 children,
thanking us for inviting them to our site. They have said that they “enjoyed
learning about the mixing machines” and taking part in process experiments
using our equipment. Each child was advised what each piece of equipment does
in manufacturing and production sites across the globe, which they found to be
educational and inspiring.
The children have been studying science in the classroom but
their visit to Perry Process has enabled them to see how the experiments they
perform translate into real-world situations. A number of children
have also noted that they enjoyed the part where their teacher swung “a bucket
of water upside down, nearly splashing herself with water” as if you “swing a
bucket really fast” it won’t spill. The letter from Lilly-Rose is our
favourite, as she went away and tried to conduct the same safe experiments at
home.
By making their day fun and informative we have inspired the youth of today to consider a future career in science and engineering.
