This week we have continued our work on China, finding out more information about different landmarks and major cities. On Thursday the children took part in The Great Wall of China Challenge! They were asked to plan, draw a model and choose a material to build a model of the Great Wall of China. They were given 20 minutes to build their wall and each groups was then measured to see who had built the longest wall.
