Today we had our long awaited trip out to W5 in Belfast. This trip was the end result and showcase day for all our efforts on our 'A Bridge to France' project. This project was funded by the British Council and lasted since before Christmas. We looked at bridges as a focus, those particularly in France and had some online lessons in French language too.
Today was about bringing up our final design for a bridge to showcase and be assessed. Judges from the Council and Civil Engineering authority spoke with a delegation of our students, who had to explain how we got from the initial idea stage, through design and manufacture.
The class enjoyed the French lessons the last few weeks and were understandably very happy with their final project. They even had the chance to explore all 5 levels of W5 and it's exhibits.
They'll sleep tonight! Well, the pupils who didn't sleep on the way home will.
