Year 5 Building Frame Structures!

Date: 8th Jan 2022 @ 5:34pm

Upon our return to Year 5, we spent Wednesday afternoon building our own frame structures... out of raw spaghetti!

We spent time as a class looking at beautiful buildings around the world, some that we knew (Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal and London Bridge) and some that we didn't know (The Louvre... in Abu Dhabi and The Centre Pompidou). 

Next, we had to design what we wanted to build and explain why we wanted to build a frame structure in the way we had designed.

Then came the hard part! Putting our ideas into practice with just spaghetti and Blu-Tac. This took a lot of teamwork and patience, but it is fair to say we did an excellent job! Year 5 are really looking forward to our Design Technology unit over this next half-term.
