Yr5 -- building bridges -- 13-Jun-2025

 What better way to so start a week by building bridges. Metaphorically and literally, as part of our topic this term we looked at different types of bridge and what made them strong The structure of a bridge making sure it was strong and sturdy and be able to hold up items. We tried to make the longest bridge we could make using only one sheet of A4 paper. Then we followed a design brief to make a beam bridge to test how many cubes the bridge would hold. There were intense moment just seeing how many cubes could make it on top of of the bridge before they would collapse!
