Great egg race rules
24 Mar 2018
The Great Egg Race is on Tuesday 27th March 2018. We look forward to seeing the amazing egg mobiles which your children have worked so hard to create. Eggs will be carried on a mobile that your children design and build themselves. The mobile can be of any shape or size and we are encouraging children to be as creative as possible. The egg-mobile needs to be able to roll/move, either battery powered or with the help of the force of gravity.
We will be awarding prizes to the most beautiful, most original and greatest distance travelled.
Please see below the rules that have to be followed.
