Design and Technology – Famous Structure Constructions

Congratulations!  NAPLAN is now over for two years for you all!  🙂

Today we started our Planner for our constructions and you have probably chatted to your parents about the model you want to make of your chosen famous structure.  You will need to start collecting recycled materials (cardboard, paper, newspaper…) for next week Friday when we have our big construction morning!

Here are a few famous structures for you to look at and be inspired:

Tomorrow we will be drawing our design plans and writing our list of materials we will need to collect.  Good luck!  Mrs Veary 😎

 

CONSTRUCTING SEIGE ENGINES

Yesterday everybody worked really hard to construct their battering rams or seige towers.  Technology and Design is so much fun! 🙂  It was just so interesting walking around and seeing the different ways you went about it.  This week we will be reflecting on our designs to share what worked best and different ways of problem solving tricky bits.  Please thank your parents for their hard work and creativity too.  Here is a photo slideshow from yesterday.  As you can see, there were great results using simple materials.  Wow! 🙂
