As part of Science Week, Year 6 visited Nissan where we had a brilliant time learning about Nissan’s manufacturing of cars, the plant itself and careers. We worked in pairs to be creative and design our own Lego cars. We also worked as part of a larger team that imitated a production line, creating cars and completing checks: we learned how to work more efficiently and all increased our production rates. On the factory floor, we saw operational robots and then got hands on with stations that allowed us to experience drills, screwing, assembling, dent management and so on. It was an eye-opening day out which left lots of us inspired by apprenticeships and jobs in this industry.
