In class on Tuesday, Monmouth was making bottle torches. First, they each had to make a circuit with a switch that would light up a bulb! Putting it all together was a little tricky, but they worked fantastically hard, followed instructions and helped each other with any issues that arose. Great job Monmouth!

Last week, Chesil had lots of fun making different 3D paper shapes in DT. They made cylinders, cuboids and prisms and then tested which shape was strongest by seeing which shape held the most books before collapsing! We found out that the cylinder is the strongest. Today, they used their learning of shapes to design a new building.
