P7/6 have shown their excellent design skills this week by designing earthquake proof buildings. It seems we have lots of budding architects as the children did a great job of sketching and labelling designs using what the had learned from their research tasks. The children have been comparing and justifying their design choices within their IDL groups. Another way we applied our knowledge was to create structures with different types of earthquake proofing features and we tested their performance with our own “shake test”!
