25 Jun Year 5 Explore Pasta Power
Our DT unit this term focuses on bridges and structures. Children reflected on different bridge designs and discussed how some designs were sturdier and the reasons for this. They then took their observations to the next level by using spaghetti and masking tape to make truss bridges. Children worked together in small groups, communicating their ideas and intentions, supporting each in order to achieve good results. At the end, they also had the opportunity to test out how much weight their bridge could hold.
