Four years at university were not wasted...
Today at school, we were looking at the Thames Flood Barrier.
There were diagrams of the barrier showing how it worked, but the teacher and the other TA said, "I don't get it." (or words to that effect.) I looked round for a cardboard cylinder and spotted a pringle pot that someone had left on the window sill after the fete on Saturday. Grabbed that and attacked it with scissors to create a mini Thames Barrier to illustrate the rotating gates.
Yay me!
