Afterwards we moved onto science and we made our very own Water Cycles! We will continue to make observations and watch out for the evaporation, condensation and precipitation processes for the remainder of the week\u00a0\ud83d\udca7<\/p>\n

We were then given an engineering challenge to create our own building using cocktail sticks and jelly tots. We considered which shapes create the strongest structure and were given 30 minutes to complete our brief \u00a0\ud83c\udfd7<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

We showcased our completed projects to our class and tested the strength of the structure by placing books on top of our building \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffc<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

All groups worked well together to create a strong, stable structure! Well done to our winning group from Ravenclaw whose building held a total of 15 books (and counting) \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n
