Second Class were very busy this 'Engineers week', learning all about the various types of engineers and their roles. The girls enjoyed watching the short animation 'Soar' and then created their own paper planes. The girls trialled and adapted their paper planes where necessary, in order to fly their paper planes a further distance. There were a few pupils flying with 'Aer Lingus' and very satisfied with the flight!
We then explored the various structures of towers and buildings throughout the world, including the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. We learned about the importance of a solid foundation in a structure. The class created their own towers using spaghetti and marshmallows. They found the exercise challenging but very enjoyable! Watch out for our future engineers!
