Bridges

In design and technology this term, we have been learning about the structure of bridges. This culminated with groups in each class building a bridge and the class voting for which one they felt was the best. This afternoon, we held a competition where the four chosen bridges were tested over a 1 metre span. We tested them by adding marbles. The winning bridge managed to hold an impressive 125 marbles! 

National Space Centre Visit

Year Five had a fabulous day expanding their understanding of space, the solar system and the space race with a visit to the National Space Centre this week.  They completed research about the different planets for their persuasive writing, tested out all manner of fun activities to enhance their science knowledge and watched a brilliant video all about getting to, living in and returning from space.
