Bridge building

Mrs Ware read us a cool big book last week about the 'Three Billy Goats Gruff' and in the back it had a report on different types of bridges. We thought it would be cool to try building some of our own.

Mrs Ware found another book called 'The Impossible Bridge' which we all read.

Then we got into groups and made a plan. The leaders had to make sure everyone had a chance to share their ideas.

We had to decide on the type of bridge we would build and what materials we would need.  We also thought carefully about what sometimes made us upset when we were working with a group and how we could work together well. 

Yesterday and today we worked really hard on making our bridges. Sometimes it didn't quite work out as we thought and we had to have a group meeting to come up with a new plan.  Mrs Ware was REALLY impressed and how well the teams worked together :)

Last of all Mrs Ware put blocks on the bridges to see if they were strong. 

Well done Room 12. What awesome team work!!!
