Today we were building domes and towers. we had to find how to make structures stronger like how triangles are one of the strongest shapes
One challenge was to build a tower made out of newspaper and it had to be more than one metre tall. We made spills from rolled up newspapers and masking tape. we made many triangles which were used to strengthen the structure. We used crosses to make it more stable. At the end of the challenge we managed to make a tower that measured one metre and fifty centimetres. After the challenge we had to evaluate how we managed to work together to make it happen .
P6 were asked to make a dome from the same materials. One of the problems we that we encountered was that fact that we couldn’t work together because there seemed to be too many people in the group. our other task was to make a dome that was 1 metre tall but we did not succeed make a 1 meter dome but we did succeed in making a dome.
