Our new inquiry!

We have started a brand new inquiry called - "The ultimate confidence course".
The inquiry will take us on a learning journey that will look into structures, technology, designs, resources and lots of hands on activities.
The overall 'BIG IDEA' is - How can we adapt and improve a playing environment to provide a safe yet challenging experience for us all?

One of the first lessons we did is looking at bridges and how they might be designed. In groups we had to make a bridge from one piece of paper that spans a distance of 15cm. The bridge had to hold as many blocks as possible. Each group had to experiment and problem solve on how to fold the paper to create a strong solid bridge.
Check out the pics and video!
