 ”The tour of the stadium was interesting especially the trophy room. The Robolab was interesting because we could work together as a team.” – Sam

 “I liked doing the Robolab because we won the Grand Prix twice. We were the coolest people there! Then we were interviewed for the TV too!“- Saffron

“The whole day has been great, a brilliant sequel to yesterday =]. The robolab was challenging but when we learnt the basics, i really enjoyed it!” – Dan

“I really enjoyed doing the tour, it was really informative. The buggie races are super fun, and even though it was a tough start I’m sure we will do well! =] – Zoe

Day 2:

Today was an exceptionally exciting day for the Wrenn XV. After a great tour of the stadium, which included a treasure hunt and Physics questionnaire, the lucky group got to work with two of the Saints players, Lee Dickson and Paul Shields, building robot cars as part of the Robolab challenge.

Lee and Paul helped the fifteen build their robots which they then raced outside the Saints Study Centre, whilst being filmed by a BBC camera crew!

The star-struck pupils had a fantastic time with the two players, who kindly autographed some programmes for them to take home.

After a lunch break, the students continued with their Robolab challenge, trying to get their robot buggies to turn 360 degrees, park in a garage and then reverse back out again – much harder than it sounds!

A cracking second day, and many thanks to the Saints, and especially Lee and Paul, for all their help today.
