Bridge Building

Leave a comment

Abertay University posted a video containing a challenge to build a bridge with a span of 75cm  that could hold 250g.

We had to bring in various recyclable materials that we could build the bridges from.

We had to decide between building a compression or tension bridge.

We then planned out our bridge and decided on materials and the bridge type-Arch, Girder, Truss, Suspension, Moveable, Cable- Stayed and Cantilever.

We then formed partners and began the building. We followed our plan to build the bridge and we used our creativity skills. Some bridges worked whilst others did not so we used our initiative to make improvements.

MicroBits

Leave a comment

The upper school have been working with MicroBits.

We have been making flashing images.

The digital leaders in our classes have been helping us and teaching us about MicroBits.

We programmed the MicroBits to show our name as well as making games on our MicroBits.

We thought it was interesting and fun and in order to do it we used our coding skills to programme the MicroBits.
