Modules - Bridge making in Room 4

In Room 4 we had some really complicated things like building towers out of straws. (Eden)

We had to make a bridge out of newspaper. (Callum)

We had to make triangles because it is the strongest shape! (Rachel)

The bridge had to have a tractor go over it. (Gabrielle)

We had to make it so the tractor wouldn't sink in the middle. (Tuawhio)

In our group some people were building triangles, some people were rolling up paper and then folding the paper and putting it on the side and cello taping it so the tractor wouldn't fall off. It was complicated. (Tayla)

I learnt that when the triangles are smaller, the stronger the bridge is. (Alec)

My group had to build a tower and balance a ball on it so it couldn't fall off. (Emma)

When we were making the tower Mrs Papworth said we could join up as a group. Tayla's group joined up to our group and we built a tower and balanced a ball, and it worked. And we were the first one finished. (Ruben)

I found out that there is always a way to build an object. (Joshua)

Thank you Mrs Papworth for teaching us how to build structures.
