Structures Workshop We had a visit from Professor Marsh and the "Neighbourhood Engineers" team from Durham University. They ran a workshop with Class 3 on making roof and bridge structures from paper tubes. Prof. Marsh helps make a roof structure On the 15th of May a group of engineers from Durham university came to our school to teach us how two make structures. There was a man who was called professor marsh he helped us make our structures and was really nice. There was four other men with professor marsh.We made house roof structures and put weights on them to show how many killergrams they could hold.We made triangles and fixed them together to make a pyramid.Then we fixed all the piramids together to make a big piramid.The men took us outside to make big poles to make into the tyne bridge it has to be as big as two classrooms because it has to go into Durham Cathedral and it has to reach from one pillow to the other.We made the big poles outside.There was a man called Ian and a one called Ray, One called Brian,one called professer Marsh I didn't know the other mans name.We only had five minutes play time because we had to finish off our work because the men had to go.The men helped us make the things and showed us how to fix our structures together.
