15 September 2010 ~  Year 6 Stixx Challenge - 1

          

On Wednesday 15 September Year 6 joined together 
to experience the 'Stixx Challenge.
First they heard about the building of Terminal 5 
- currently the biggest freestanding structure in England.

Then we were set the challenge - 
to make a structure from newspapers 
large enough for all members of the construction team to get inside. 

First we learnt how to prepare the newspapers so they were rigid enough.

Then it was time to get planning!
Work began on preparing the paper
Once the 'stixx' were prepared it was construction time.
The structures began to take shape - 
though sometimes a little human support was needed.
