Bridges - Paper Bridges

As part of our Bridges topic we were challenged to built a bridge out of only 2 sheets of A4 paper, which was strong enough to hold a 500g weight. Impossible...or so we thought!

Masterclass - Creating T-shirts

For 'masterclass' this month, the children designed their own t-shirt. Each child chose someone to be inspired by and created designs based on this. They came up with 3 t-shirt ideas before deciding on a final design. They tie-dyed their -shirts, and the following week customised them using various materials. 

Bridges - Cofferdams

One of the big questions we had about bridges was "how you you build the pillars of the bridge under the water?". We learnt that cofferdams are used to create a dry area where construction can begin and this has been done since Roman times! We made an example of our own using sand, plastic bottles and a syringe.

Play Leader Games with P2

Continuing from their Play Leader course, the children worked in groups to organise games to play with Primary 2. They each delivered their games successfully and all children had great fun!
