Building Bridges

Year 3 and 4 enjoyed a visit from Network Rail engineer Chris. He told us about his journey from being a primary school student like us, to becoming a Civil Engineer. We were inspired! He taught us about lots of different types of bridges and how his team helps keep bridges safe. He set us the challenge of building a strong bridge out of newspaper. Our bridges were tested to destruction by seeing which could carry the heaviest load of books. We enjoyed this team challenge!
