This week in Year 4, we have been exploring our new topic in Science called: The Big Build! We started the topic by investigating different types of bridges and how they are constructed. We looked at different types of bridges such as: arch, beam, girder, and corrugated bridges! We then experimented using books, cards and weights to mirror the different types of bridges and to see how much weight each bridge could hold.
We compared different types of bridges in real life and understood the choice of bridge type depends on factors such as the span length, traffic volume, and environmental considerations.
Following this, in Art we have connected the topics and begun sketching in detail London Tower Bridge, taking into consideration the different structures required to build the famous bridge. Take a look below at some of our photos to see how we got on!
We also enjoyed partaking in the sponsored bounce today, which included raising money but also having fun with our friends! Thank you to the PFA for organising and bringing the sunshine! 🙂
Lastly, the grand opening of our BRAND NEW toilets happened!! We were delighted to see the new toilets and will enjoy using the facilities…. which even have sensors!!
