Dogsthorpe Infant School presents...

LOCKDOWN LEGO CHALLENGE 36

This week Maddie and Greg in our Science video are talking about extreme explorers of the deserts. 

​

One great place to explore is the Great Pyramids. Amazing structures that only exists because of a piece of string with a stone at one end called a  'Plumb Bob'. 

​

In Maths we learn about shapes and The Great Pyramid is a fantastic shape and it has lasted hundreds of years. Do you know what a pyramid shape is? If you don't watch the video.

Your LEGO challenge this week is to build a giant pyramid. You can use Lego, Duplo or other materials but your model must be pyramid shape. 

GOOD LUCK! Don't forget to send us a photo or video of your model of the Great Pyramids of Giza. 

DID YOU KNOW? Each stone of the Great Pyramid weighs 2.5 tonnes and there are 2 million of these stones forming the pyramid. Each stone was put in place every 3 minutes and each pyramid took 14 years to build.  All built with mathematics, a piece of string and lots of hard work.
