BP Challenge Week 1

This term the children that don't go to choir are completing BP Challenges. These are technology and science challenges where they have to work together to solve problems.

This week's challenge was called The Long Lift.  The children had to design a mechanism that would lift a GPS device (bottle of water) from the concrete outside our class up to the balcony above. They were only given a roll of cellotape, 3 pages from a newspaper and a plastic bag.

Here are some photos and videos of the challenge.

The girls were very quick at coming up with their design and plan and they worked well together.

After a lot of arguing the boys managed to create a good design.
