Today we read "The Impossible Bridge". It was about a class of children who tried to make a bridge from one table to another table. This inspired us to give it a go. We started by talking about what an engineer is- We learnt that engineers design materials, structures and systems. So we thought we could be engineers for the day and design and build a bridge (structure). We got into small groups and used sticks, wool, straws, sellotape and cardboard. Mr Williams came in and judged our bridges, the criteria was how strong, stable and safe our bridges were. The winners scored a whooping 30/30 and had amyleigh, Wali, Runnna-mya, Mereka, Allena, and Wiremu in the group!
Ka Pai to all our fantastic engineers today!! :)
Ask us about different kinds of bridges!!
Good activity..keep winning wali
