Bridge Challenge

The Tuatara Reading group have been reading a book called "The Impossible Bridge". At the end of the book was a challenge to make a bridge out of one piece of A4 paper. It could only be cut or torn once and no cellotape was allowed. The bridge had to be strong enough to support a toy car (or in this case a plastic bug).  Here are some of the creative ways they solved the problem.



Sam was proud of
how strong his
bridge was.

Grace used some
tricky folding
techniques for her
bridge support.
Anastasia & Riley combined
their resources - and those of
other "engineers" to increase
the span of their bridge.

Hannah explored using
glue on her bridge support.
Kennedy discovered
that a paper bridge is NOT impossible
after all.
