On Tuesday 19th June, Year 4 visited the Head of Steam museum to complete a workshop based on structures. As this was the first time anyone had trialled the activity, Sarah had asked for the children to evaluate the strengths and provide suggestions of ways to improve it. During the session, the children enjoyed exploring the museum for diagonal structures and looked at the three bridges within the museum. The highlight of the session was creating their own bridge using K-nex. This developed their team work, problem solving skills and understanding of engineering. At the end of the workshop, children gave their ideas of how to improve and adapt the activity for themselves and different year groups. The children were very much engaged and enjoyed the sessions as it had a real purpose.
