Making Our Final Product!
Crew Ramsay enjoyed attempt number 3 at making our animal sculptures. We have learned so much through our previous drafts and our critique and were so excited to give it another go. We know that Austin’s butterfly got better and better so we were kind to ourselves after the first two attempts. Out sculptures are amazing and we cannot wait to show them off at our COL.
Engineering Challenge: Building Bridges
Year 6 put their engineering skills to the test in our Bridge Building Challenge. Using only rolled paper tubes and masking tape, teams worked together to design and build a bridge capable of holding the greatest weight.
The challenge encouraged pupils to think like engineers as they discovered why triangles create strong, stable structures. After planning and building, each bridge was tested, giving children the chance to evaluate their designs and think about how they could improve them.
Throughout the activity, pupils showed excellent teamwork, resilience and problem-solving, living out our school values by working hard, getting smart and being kind. They learned that great engineering isn’t about getting it right first time—it’s about designing, testing and improving.
It was fantastic to see so much creativity, determination and collaboration, proving that with the right mindset, even simple materials can achieve impressive results.
