Year 4 smashed it today when they finished their Egyptian shadufs. They worked really hard to ensure that they measured and cut the wood accurately. They managed to create a square base which supported the shaduf to stand up. The most tricky part was trying to balance the tripods so that the arm of the shaduf could be positioned. Great cooperation and perseverance was needed by all. Well done Year 4.
