Year 1 & 2 Design a bridge

Lesson: Design and technology

Class: Year 1&2 Year: 2022 - 2023

As part of our Movers and Shakers topic we are learning about famous people in History. We learnt about bridge builders.

The children designed a bridge for the goat to cross.

The only problem was that the bridge was made from newspaper!

Would it be stable? Would it be strong? How could we support it?

We folded, twisted, scrunched and rolled the paper. We then evaluated our designs to see what was successful and what needed changing.
