We are thrilled to announce our Festive Science Competition! This year, we are inviting our young inventors to design a ‘Christmas Bridge’. The more weight it can hold, the better! What a fun way to explore the exciting world of forces and combine it with the theme of Christmas!

We encourage the children to not only sketch their designs, but also to add written explanations. They can label their creations to show how they work, combining creativity and scientific thinking! Whilst a poster with their design is perfectly acceptable, if your child wishes to physically create their own bridge, we would love to see it. They could use, for example, cardboard, newspaper, candy canes, straws or spaghetti.

All designs must be submitted by Wednesday 2nd December and should be brought to Mrs Burnett's classroom (6 Beech in the Humber building). There are exciting prizes for the winning designs, so let’s spark their imaginations and get them innovating!
