What are some structures around our school? What is the function and what are the materials used to build them? #inquirers #rvsed #research @NorthcottRVS

Testing materials to see which is the strongest and why it is important to know this when we build structures. #inquiry #rvsed #thinkers #scientists

Using our knowledge of structures to make a blueprint of our own structure. It has to be sturdy, stable and strong. #rvsed #innovators #creativity #inquirers @NorthcottRVS

Brainstorming verbs for poetry, and narrowing them down to a specific topic; summer! @NorthcottRVS #rvsed #brainstorming #priorknowledge
