Structures Structures Structures

Room 34 has been making lots of structures. We have made newspaper structures. We made structures in the Gully and the only manmade items we could use were one tarpaulin per group.
We had a design brief for each structure. A design brief is when you are given quick instructions about the function of the structure you are building.
For our newspaper structures the brief was that it had to hold up a dictionary for at least 30 seconds. Some structures could hold up to 14 books!
Our shelters in the Gully had to have enough space to keep the whole team from getting wet if it rained. We tested them with water guns.

  6. That challenge for the news paper was so much fun maybe you could put some photos of another classes designs on the blog and we could compare tallest, smallest, weakest and strongest and which design out of all of year 4 was the strongest (or out of the classes that did it) or perhaps we could have each class in year four make there own class strongest design and we could see who has the strongest structure. Overall I think that it was a fun and exiting challenge.
