This week the children were set a challenge and given a set of criteria they needed to follow.

The challenge was to create a bridge which would span across  80cm from one table to another using the following:

50 art straws

5M of masking tape

15 sheets of paper

We first designed them using what we have been learning about bridges. Then we got into small groups and voted which design to create. The children then worked together to create their bridge. After all the bridges were created we measured how many £1 coins each bride would support.

The winning bridge held…TWENTY-SIX pound coins.

Our next step will be to evaluate our designs and look at potential improvements.
