Bloxham Lower School students and visiting pupils from Winchester House School participated in a bridge-building exercise led by the Institute of Civil Engineers
A group of Lower School students and visiting pupils from Winchester House School participated in a bridge-building exercise today led by volunteers from the Institute of Civil Engineers and the University of Birmingham.
It took the students just under an hour to assemble the 15 metre cable-stayed structure, which ran the entire length of the Great Hall. The students, who wore safety helmets and high visibility tabards, had great fun with the construction and were able to test its strength by standing on the bridge all together. Amazingly, it held out!
