Our pupils recently put their engineering skills to the test in a fun and creative teamwork challenge! Working together in teams, or on their own if they chose to, pupils became **little engineers**, using simple sticks and marshmallows to design and construct their very own imaginative structures. They had to think creatively, communicate effectively and work together to make their ideas come to life. There were some fantastic and inventive creations, with each team showing great determination and enthusiasm. It was wonderful to see pupils sharing ideas, solving problems and encouraging one another throughout the challenge. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the activity, and the excitement continued as they waited with great anticipation to discover which **three creations** would be crowned the winners. A huge well done to everyone who took part! You all demonstrated fantastic teamwork, creativity and engineering skills. Who knows, perhaps we have some future engineers in the class!
