The children had to combine their cutting, folding, twisting and rolling skills with their imagination to create the tallest tower and longest bridge possible, using only a single sheet of A4 paper. These skills were then put to the test: Key Stage 2 children worked in pairs to create a bridge capable of supporting a weight; Key Stage 1 children recreated Tower Bridge using paper, masking tape and glue sticks.
Our amazing architects thoroughly enjoyed making structures inspired by iconic British buildings. They gained a deeper understanding of the requirements for designing a strong and effective building... and they were pleased to discover that our school is not made from paper and masking tape!
