Year 5/6 Design Technology
Year 5 and 6 worked on the Design Technology topic, Shelters. Before designing their shelters, they carried out research into the different types of shelters. As part of this research, each group constructed a framework using a set of materials (straws, selotape, card and sticky tabs). They accepted their challenge and were able to create a framework, including points that were strengthened to make their frameworks more stable. Here are some of their experimental structures.
Newsroom
Year 5 visited the Evening Chronicle Newsroom this term. We used the same technology the journalists use and everyone produced their own newspaper front page. We all had a fantastic time, have a look at the photos!
