House Challenge: Building Structures That Could Brave the Breeze

Our House Captains were raring to go with their latest challenge, and it certainly brought a gust of excitement with it. Working alongside our Science Lead, Miss Franks, pupils were invited to design and build a wind‑resistant structure using only everyday household materials.

The challenge wasn’t just about creativity – it was about engineering, problem‑solving and perseverance. Each structure faced the ultimate test: could it withstand the power of a FAN simulating strong winds?

Throughout the week, House Captains rigorously tested every entry, timing how long each structure managed to stay on the table before being blown away. There was plenty of suspense, teamwork and cheering as pupils eagerly watched their designs face the breeze.

Reflecting on the challenge, Miss Smith, House Team Lead, said:
“It was fantastic to see pupils approaching the challenge with such creativity and determination.”
