Monday 13th March – Science Week Day 1

The children of year 4 and 3 joined forces today to explore the theme of connections and engineering. How could we connect using bridges.

After exploring different bridges in the Year 3 classroom and what features they have and need to include. The children then moved to Year 4 where we learnt that when things are built we have to stick to a budget.
Having a budget of £500 to build their bridges and get resources from the school shop the children then set out to complete their bridges to span a gap of 30cm across two tables and support either people, cars, animals, lorries or trains.

The classes then worked together to complete their build, keeping to their budget as well as working well as teams within the time provided.
