safetyHealth and Safety in a workshop is very important. If a pupil/student uses equipment, tools and machinery, he/she should have received safety training. This should ensure that he/she feels confident in the use of machines and can operate them without having an accident or causing an accident to other people.
structuresbridgesBridges are needed for a variety of reasons. Generally, they ‘bridge’ a gap between the banks of a river or they span the distance between two sides of a valley. They are made from materials including stone and steel. Bridges can carry people, cars, lorries, railways and even rivers.
towerAn art straw tower is a little more difficult to build compared to a model bridge. Towers can be all shapes and sizes but they must be designed carefully and drawn accurately. Basic tools such as a pair of scissors, sellotape, pencil, ruler, set squares, a T-sqaure, are required. With the bridge, a jig can be used to fold/bend the art straws accurately.
