Building Bridges!
Year 5 &6 they will be making their own Marble Runs in our DT lessons in Year 5 & 6 this half-term. To begin this unit, they have been examining different types of structure and trying to understand how to ensure the structures they create will be strong enough to stand independently. One way they did this was by trying to create the longest bridge using just paper and masking tape. This challenge required them to use their problem solving and teamwork skills and the winning group managed to build a bridge 1.5m long!
