Engineering Workshop

Last week, we were visited by Pippa and Hamish from Arup, an international engineering firm with a local office. They talked to us about all the different kinds of jobs that engineers could do.

We learnt how to be safe on a building site and got to try on some of the health and safety equipment!

Then, we had a competition to see who could design and build the best tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows. Points were awarded for height, stability, design and the cleanliness of our building sites.

To explore the issue, Year 6 took part in role-play activities and conscience alleys to share their opinions and understand how different people might feel about this topical issue. Year 6 showed great maturity in discussing this topic and were able to express their viewpoints with evidence and arguments to back themselves up.
