Bridge Building

For our topic on inventors and explorers,  we looked at Isambard Kingdom Brunel who was a famous engineer. He was responsible for the Royal Albert Bridge which connects Plymouth to Saltash.

With Mrs Burt, the children had to plan their own bridges in a team and then work together to construct them. Their challenge was to see which bridge could hold the most weight. Some bridges could hold one hundred pennies, while some could only hold four!
