We got the form, signed it and went to Point View, it was 5min away from OrmPS and all of us went. We did not go on the bus, we went on Mr Dyers car. When the team went the carpark was full so Mr Dyer parked outside. When we arrived we were waited from other schools, I even saw my last school That I went to (Baverstock Oaks School)! We were waiting for 3min for the other 2 or 3 schools. I was in a team with Taanvi and Willie, the other team was Henry, Anjili and Nelvin so Mr Rankin was suggesting that we should watch a helpful video and told Mr Dyer that it was a really good website to go on. We were deciding if we should either watch the vides or start planning and organizing so Willie and I watched the video while Taanvi was thinking about some ideas that we should do. The materials we need were 2 chairs, 1 big and small pieces of paper, rubber bands, wires and heavy stuff. The challenge was trying to build a bridge at least
40 cm. Before we started there was obviously some rules.
Important Rules:
Must put a plastic bag on the bridge,
You must try and build a bridge without letting it stick to the chairs,
Have fun!
Those were the Important rules but there was more rules (Sadly I couldn't Remember all of it). It took 45min before we have to stop but Mr Rankin was really nice and gave us 10min extra time! It took a while to figure out what we should do then I had a brilliant idea. My idea was wrapping the extra pieces of paper to make it stronger. Mr Rankin said "All the bridges don't have to be the prettiest, they have to be strong so that it could hold lots of heavy stuff". After all the building time we had it was time to put it to the test, the test was holding bottles of water to try and weigh the bridge even more so the challenge was trying not to make it fall. It was tricky because Mr Rankin hit every bridge until it fell. We were so lucky, We came in fifth out of 32 teams! It was really enjoyable.
