The Great Egg Race

Stoke Heath Primary School will be running the Great Egg Race on Tuesday 28th March. This event has been a firm favourite on the school calendar each year for many years. The event is open to all KS2 (Year 3 to 6) children.

The children need to create a race vehicle or a ‘sp-egg-tator’. Please see below for more information.

Create a Great Egg Race Vehicle

In order to enter the race, participants need to create a home-made vehicle that carries a hard-boiled egg driver. The vehicle must be made at home. There are rules that the children must follow when creating their vehicles:

• all vehicles must be made from scratch and children can use a variety of materials such as bottle tops for wheels, boxes, egg cartons etc for the vehicle body

• inside the vehicle there must be a hard-boiled egg driver. The egg can be decorated as a character if you wish.

• the vehicle cannot be made out of Lego or Meccano or be a ready-made vehicle. CDs are NOT allowed to be used for the vehicle’s wheels. Vehicles may be disqualified from the race!

Create a ‘Sp-egg-tator’

All children from KS2 will watch the Great Egg Race. Children in Year 3 to Year 6 can, if they wish, make a ‘sp-egg-tator’. Children that make a ‘sp-egg-tator’ will be invited to parade their creation during the Great Egg Race.

The children will need to bring in their created vehicle or ‘sp-egg-tator’ on the morning of the race (Tuesday 28th March).
