PLP VR Session
Year 6 were lucky to have PLP visit us and talk to us about the building work and some of the science behind it. We discussed how to build structures and had the chance to use wooden rods and elastic bands to build stable structures. We were also treated to a virtual reality tour. Take a look at the pictures below to see our amazing structures:

Building fun
This morning Maple have been busy building! A lady from the school building project carried out a session with us all about ‘Structures’. We had to make tetrahedrons using the wooden sticks. We then got busy trying to make the biggest structure we could with them. The children all had a great time and were very competitive with each other!
