Miss Daly set the children the challenge of creating a bridge using newspaper and masking tape that would support the weight of a toy car. Construction challenges provide a fabulous opportunity for the development of a range of important study, work and life skills, including; inventiveness, problem solving, creative thinking, perseverance, motivation and the ability to overcome disappointment, evaluation, editing and revision, analytical thinking and the use of a range of real life tools. It was interesting to watch the children work collaboratively to find solutions to the challenge.
