The Three Billy Goats 

We read the story of the Three Billy Goats. It is Andrew's favourite story. We decided after reading the story to help the goats to cross the river so they didn't have to use the bridge. A Troll lived under the bridge and he wanted to eat the three goats.

Challenge

Make a structure to take the goats from one side of the river to the other.

Investigation

We made rafts, catapults and used different containers to help get the goats to cross the river. We tested each structure.

Findings

We found some materials worked better than others. We also found that we needed stronger glue and more time for the glue to dry.

It was fun!
