Design a Bridge

There are only a couple of days left of the half term holiday and you have exhausted every children’s activity going. Time for some quiet time. Tower Bridge is running a competition for children to design their own version of the famous bridge. The winner will have their bridge turned into a 3d model which will be displayed in public. Time to get the crayons out!
