Building Bridges

It has been an exciting week of bridge-building in Year 5 this week. We have learned lots about how to saw and glue safely, as well as how different shapes can make a structure strong. We definitely ran into some problems along the way including using the right angles, strengthening the joints and developing techniques for sawing. In doing so the children became quite adept adapters as they solved all these problems along the way. They wanted to share their hard work with everyone, so here are some of their pictures.
