\"\"Primary 7 were the first year group to use Cathedral’s new Investigation & Innovation Hub<\/em>. Their challenge was to work in teams to design a kite and, after a week of designing, constructing and modifying, our young engineers headed out into the playground on Friday 22nd August to try them out.<\/p>\n

The winning team learned from their mistakes during the course of the week, quickly realising that a flat kite wouldn’t work. After doing a bit of research on kites, they modified their design by constructing a square-based pyramid skeleton and covering this with crepe paper, a material which would catch the air without weighing the kite down. Ingenious!<\/p>\n

Here are just a few comments from our Primary 7 learners:<\/p>\n

“I loved the round ‘Spark Session’ table where our group brainstormed ideas straight onto the table to get our project started.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I liked being able to use a dry-wipe marker to write my ideas and designs straight onto the walls. This made them easy to refer to.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I really enjoyed working as a team with my co-operative learning group.”\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n
