During last year, our young Year 2 builders took on an exciting STEM challenge as part of their 'Towers, Turrets and Tunnels' topic! 🏰✨

The children put their learning to the test to build epic recycled fortresses for the Three Little Pigs. Working in teams, they crafted incredible structures complete with tall towers, moats, drawbridges and even secret escape tunnels! 🐷🐷🐷

They brought hands-on teamwork, creativity and brilliant engineering skills into the classroom while keeping the Big Bad Wolf out.
