The children spent time last week taking part in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) investigations. They had to create a tower for Rapunzel using paper, and then discover how many cubes the tower could support before falling down.

The next project was to build a bridge out of 2 sheets of paper. The children looked at different designs and structures before deciding how they would work out the solution. The bridge had to support a toy car without collapsing in the middle. The additional challenge was to find out if they bridge could also support an increasing number of marbles, without them falling off! The children had lots of fun and there were a few marbles rolling onto the floor throughout.
