Aspiring to be better

And the winner is....

Well they were all winners today.

Today was the GRER (Great Renewable Energy Race) day at TBH's school.

Along with two other schools in their cluster her kids had to "build and race a car made fom recycled objects that is powered by renewable energy". there were sprint and endurance classes with heats in all. Everyone was engrossed and captivated by the performances. The teachers (two pictured), the engineers who had helped the kids, the parents and the kids themselves all had a great time screaming and encouraging their favourites on.

But for me the greatest thing about the day was the reaction of those whose machines either failed to start, didn't complete the course or went round in circles instead of going straight. They smiled because at least they had tried and had had fun doing it. Compared to some of those we are watching on TV at this time I know who the winners really are.
