Building Bridges


Image result for tower bridge london


Today we discussed about the Engineer Design Process and the steps necessary to solve real-world problems. Our challenge for the next weeks is to build a bridge strong enough to hold, at least, 1kg of weight. Students decided their partners today and started to develop a proposal. After the proposal is approved, they can modify and improve their blueprint before start building their bridges. Students can review the requirements and details about this project on our shared folder on Google Drive (clique here).

Food Drive

The current food drive organized by the Grade 6 Students In Action Club has already been a great success so far.  The LBS community has showing how generous they are and have brought in a large amount of items to be donated and that will surely make a big difference in peoples' lives.  We are continuing to collect items until this Friday, November 15th, so please do your best to help the Students In Action Club reach their goal of collecting 500 items!
