The Little Princess Trust

After the holidays Helena came back into school looking a little bit different.  She had participated in a remarkable selfless act that will make a massive difference to someone else’s life.

Helena had 11 inches of her beautiful hair cut off and donated to The Little Princess Trust.

“I decided to have a change and I just thought to give my hair to charity. I could get what I wanted and so could they”. We are beaming with pride – well done Helena!!

Building Bridges

The Scenario – Build a Bridge

P5c were asked if they could design and build a bridge that would allow all vehicles to cross the river but also allow boats, which may be taller than the bridge, to pass under. The challenge they were set is outlined below and the results and photos of the winning designs can also be found in our blog.

The Challenge

You have ONE HOUR.
Your task is to design and build a bridge which can span across 2 desks and have a way of opening to allow boats to pass under. The bridge needs to be able to support the weight of a small bottle of water without collapsing and open to allow any size of boat through.

The Specifications

Your bridge must:
 Be at least 19cm high (the height of a grey K’Nex rod)
ï‚· Be at least 30cm long (the length of a standard ruler)
ï‚· Have a strong robust structure to stand on its own
ï‚· Be able to support the weight of a small bottle of water or equivalent weight
ï‚· Be able to open to allow tall river vessels to pass through safely.

1st place – Callum To and Jake

2nd place – Lewis and Zia

3rd place – Laura and Gina
