As part of today’s teaching I used the dead hour before lunch (following
an hour long session on sexual health, thankfully delivered by a professional
in the subject) to get the learners to team up and build bridges out of just
paper and sticky tape, of a specified minimum span and clearance, and capable of
carrying a significant load (of Haribo sweets); the results were three
surprisingly sturdy constructions, of variable architectural merit, not only
able to support all the available sweets, but also in one case a fragile
looking vase in the wrong room at the wrong time, which all went to provide a
quite successful way of smuggling some functional skills (measuring and
communication) into the day.
