Making Towers and Bridges (Year 3 and Year 1)

Today the children in Year 3 combined with the children in Year 1 to take part in some practical designing and building activities.
Working with Miss. Kinkead, the children had to make bridges out of various different play-construction materials. The strength of their bridges was then tested by applying weights.
With Mr. MacBean, the children had to use newspaper and masking tape to make towers that were as tall as possible.
As well as learning about the importance of combining effectively with members of a team, the children learned about various engineering ideas including measurement, strength, balance and support.
