They have investigated different types of bridges, including a truss bridge, an arched bridge and suspension bridge. We discussed the differences and the functions of each bridge. They determined which one was the strongest.** **In readiness for creating our own bridges, 3S started by making their own miniature prototypes using art straws and sellotape. We worked well as a team to produce some fantastic work. Next week, we will get our models back out and evaluate how we did. When we have decided on how to improve, we will develop our ideas and alter our final design.** [Y3](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news/tag/y3) [DT](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news/tag/dt) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Screenshot_2025-03-19_114003.png)](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news/2025-03-19-new-arrivals-in-foundation) Previous ### [New arrivals in Foundation!](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news/2025-03-19-new-arrivals-in-foundation) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Screenshot_2025-01-15_105949.png)](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news/2025-03-28-blackpool-music-service-beauty-and-the-beast) Next ### [Blackpool Music Service - Beauty and the Beast](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news/2025-03-28-blackpool-music-service-beauty-and-the-beast) ### Our Parents - [Latest News](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news) - [Newsletter](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/latest-communications) - [Term Dates](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/termdates) - [Our Uniform](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-uniform) - [Our Meal Service](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-meal-service) - [Parent Pay](https://www.parentpay.com/) - [PTFA](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/ptfa) - [Parent View](https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/) - [Calendar](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/calendar) - [School Admission Information](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/school-admission-information) - [Family Support](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/family-support) - [Our School Day](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-school-day) - [Out of School Clubs](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/Out-of-School-clubs) - [Attendance & Punctuality](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/attendance-punctuality) - [Family Learning](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/family-learning) - [Starting School - Foundation Children - September ](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/starting-school-foundation) - [Leading Parent Partnership](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/leading-parent-partnership-award) ##### Location Johnsville Avenue Blackpool FY4 3LN ##### Contact Us 01253 402541 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Hawes-Side-Academy-106552978546097) - [X](https://twitter.com/HSlearners) © Copyright 2018–2026 Hawes Side Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
