Wider curriculum

This week we are having a focus on Design Technology in our half term topic linked to Italy. 

As Italy has so many beautiful bridges have a look at some in the powerpoint below:-

I hope you chose one that you liked. 

This week we would like you to have a go at making a bridge yourself!  Design it first using the PDF below.  Have a good think about materials you may want to use to construct it!  You can use lots of different resources and try out different ideas for example:

• Cardboard
• Building bricks
• Lego or Duplo
• Straws
• Junk modelling (boxes, tubes etc)
• Paper
• Plasticene
• String

I’m sure you will have lots of your own ideas!  Why not get someone else in your family to join in with the project!  You could give your bridge a name!

We would love to see your bridge so send your pictures in to the class email page at

hertfordshire@shenley.herts.sch.uk

and we look forward to seeing some examples!

Have a look at some other bridges from around the world –
