Miss Binning's Design Challenge!
Miss Binning would like you to design and build a bridge that is strong enough to hold the weight of a book! You can only use things from around the house to build it.
Can you use as few things as possible? Can you test how strong your bridge is by counting how many books it can hold?

JK Rowling's Art Competition
Calling all budding artists! J.K. Rowling is inviting you to help illustrate The Ickabog for her. Every day when chapters of the story are uploaded, she will be making suggestions for what you might like to draw or paint to illustrate the story as it goes along. You should let your imagination run wild.
Every day, Rowling uploads chapters of the story and invites you to draw parts of it. What a fantastic illustration competition!
Here is the link for more information
