22 October 2014 ~ Year 6 Stixx Challenge

             

Wednesday 22 October and time for the annual Year 6 Stixx Challenge!
Inspired by contemporary buildings at Heathrow Airport,
Year 6 are challenged to construct 'buildings' from newspaper.

Jeremy King demonstrates the basic principles.

Into groups and ideas are aired, plans made ...

... and work begins.

Triangles are essential for stability.

'Buildings' begin to take shape.

And a 'building' had to be able to 'house' the group.

At the end Barry comments on our work 
and congratulates us on a 'job well done'.
