Today we got the chance to evaluate the shelters we made last half term. Our design brief had been to construct a shelter to house a family of four playmobile people. It had to be waterproof, and built of a construction strong enough to withstand a 500g weight being dropped on its roof and a 30 second gust of wind (provided by a blast from a hairdryer!).

most of our shelters stood up well to these tests and we were pleased with our final builds.
