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 –
