Over the past two weeks, Year 4 have been thinking about engineering and structures in their Design and Technology lessons. <\/span><\/p>\n

They were given the brief to design an earthquake proof structure that was at least 30 cm tall and that would withstand 10 seconds of shaking. Teamwork skills were essential in this task as the girls needed to discuss their ideas, compromise and collaborate in order to create their structures. They were also only allowed to use limited materials – spaghetti, marshmallows and masking tape! <\/span><\/p>\n

It is fair to say that some structures were more successful than others, but it was great to see the girls reflecting upon their methods and designs which will help them in the next lesson when they need to build their structure out of cardboard.<\/span><\/p>\n
