Base 2 are constructing bridges out of paper. They have a budget of £20 to buy materials and hire equipment. Glue, rulers, scissors are being hired in 5 or 10 minute slots. All paper, Sellotape, glue, art straws are chargeable per unit making the children really think about what they use and question whether they really need it!
The target is to build a strong construction but it must also cost effective and within budget!
The other children can loan each other money but it comes at a heavy cost to the purchaser whereas the seller can double their money as an incentive for their own good budgeting skills!

I really enjoyed making my bridge I’m just hopeing Imogen and I will have the strongest and cheappest bridge
I really enjoyed doing this mine and kiara’s bridge wasn’t very much and it was quite strong
Mine, Maia and Megan’s bridge was strong, however we wasted £6 on a gillitine we used once! We won’t do that again.
It was hard making a bridge that was cheap and strong , but are’s is strong and like Baylee said we spent £6 on the gillitine we used once!
I liked making my bridge, but it was awfully expensive!!! I don’t think it’s very strong though.
I enjoyed making the bridges they are all good and i learnt some more skills i worked with erin and so far our bridge is quite cheap.
