Discovery Week at Manford

The week of the 22nd of March was Discovery week at Manford.

We decided to take this opportunity to allow the children to revise their knowledge of Science and develop their thinking and team working skills. We gave the children a scenario; Imagine you are travelling on an aeroplane when suddenly, your plane crashes. You try to swim to safety and find yourself stranded on a desert island.

The children needed to work together to solve a variety of problems while staying on the island.

The problems included: Building a bridge to cross the raging waters, Building a tall structure to pick the fruit from the trees, Make a boat strong enough to carry one person and nice water pots.

The children had great fun and have even asked if they can do it again!
