SEACHTAIN NA GAEILGE

EGG DROP CHALLENGE
20th March 2024
Both rooms came together today to create and build a structure that would protect and keep an egg intact when dropped from a height. The children had lots of fun experimenting with all the different bits that were available and then had to come together in their groups to decide which of their ideas would work the best. This activity allowed them to further develop their creative thinking and problem-solving skills. Before testing our designs, we predicted who we thought would or wouldn't be successful and why by listening to hoe each of the groups structures were put together. Each group managed to design something suitable by the end of the activity with only a few breakages along the way! Well done to all!
