    In design and technology this term, Prophets class will learn about the role of an engineer and discover remarkable structures in history.  They study the form and function of significant bridges, learning to identify features, such as beams, arches and trusses, and why triangles are such strong shapes.  Children complete a bridge-building engineering challenge to create a bridge prototype.
