TEN YEARS AGO: Boston pupils take on one-day glider challenge
Pupils at St Mary’s Primary School, Boston, took part in a special project to design and make a small kite-like glider in just one day 10 years ago.
The challenge was part of a project called TASC (Thinking Actively in a Social Context).
Year Five teacher Andrew Hughman said: “All the children really enjoyed it and each rose to the challenge.”

Mr Hughman said: “The most successful flew 10 metres, which is fantastic given there was no wind inside to help them along!”
