Building Structures

This morning in maths we were solving a very tricky, sticky problem.

We were asked to build a structure using only spaghetti and marshmallows. Our structure had to be free standing and hold a 3D shape (Hemisphere) for ten seconds without collapsing.

In our groups we discussed our plans before trying out our ideas practically.

Here are some photos of our learning.












Two out of four groups managed to balance a 3D shape on the top of our structure for 10 seconds without it collapsing! Very well done year 1 & 2! 

Of course, for such excellent team work and problem solving, we were treated to a yummy marshmallow after!
