In Year 2 Science this week, we designed bridges. There was fierce competition between groups as children negotiated who would use which materials. They were able to apply their recently acquired knowledge of paper folding and rolling to create stronger structures.

The bridge supported by cardboard pillars turned out to be the strongest, withstanding nearly 6 kg of weight!

It was wonderful to see the children’s enthusiasm for learning. The only question left is: what bridge would you happily drive your car over?
