Integrated Studies
In Integrated Studies this term the 1/2’s have been using the design process to solve a problem.
We read ‘Three Billy Goats Gruff’ and designed a new bridge for the goats to cross. We used straws, paper and tape to build our bridges, then took them into the sandpit to test them out. Most of our bridges helped our animals cross the river! Next up- we will design, build and test a house for the 3 Little Pigs!
