Design & Manufacture, S1, S2

BGE Famous Buildings Modelling Task

One of the many challenges issued to S1 and S2 during lockdown, pupils were asked to create a model of a famous building from scrap/ recycled materials they had at home.

We had lots of amazing entries with the top award going to Jack in class 1.3. Chloe from 2.6 was a close 2nd, with Alistair from 1.6 finishing off the top 3… Well done to all pupils who submitted a entry.
