# Making Stable Structures in Rabbits!

This half term, Rabbits have been designing and constructing a stable structure, a windmill! They learnt about the different uses of windmills and also the main features such as the axle, rotor blades and sails. Using tools and materials, Rabbits were challenged to make sure that their structure could stand on it's own and that the sails could move independently against a gentle breeze. Rabbits have loved designing their windmills for a purpose. Some ideas included Spider-man, our best friends and even our favourite book character!
