DT Week!

Well, this week is DT week and we would have been looking at constructing structures using different materials and methods.

I have three DT challenges for you this week – please email photos of any outcomes!
1. Make a den: this could be a cosy reading den inside or an outdoor garden den made from resources you find in your garden. I would love to see any plans you draw up for your den.
2. Raid the cardboard recycling bag and make the tallest tower you can which will support the weight of a lego figure (or equivalent). How high can you go? Bonus points for getting it taller than you!
3. If you have the ingredients, why not have a go at baking soda bread – this doesn’t require yeast and can be easily personalised by the addition of herbs, cheese, spices etc. Please ask before you try this – your parents will be keeping a really close eye on ingredients and may not want you to take the last lemon to make soda bread with!
Have a go at planning the feast that you would like to share with your friends once the ‘lock down’ is over and we can all get together again. Design the meal, think about the decorations and where you would hold the feast (I would like to set tables out in the Gruffalo wood and have a marshmallow toasting pudding course around the fire square).

Design and Technology!

The week before Easter would have been a DT focus week. We would have undertaken both a food technology task and a construction task. It would be great if you could have a go at one or more of the suggestions below; I would love to see photos of the work you produce!

Food technology – we have been learning about how the body works and will be considering ways to stay healthy. Our science focus for the next two weeks will concentrate on healthy habits for life.

Can you design and make a healthy lunchbox?
Click on the link below for some great ideas. Try and include at least 3 portions of fruit or veg.

Structure Challenge
Can you make a bridge structure that supports a tin of baked beans?

You can use any materials you are allowed to! If you have construction toys at home (Lego, for example) you could create a bridge using that.
In school we would follow these steps:

  1. Research and evaluate some different bridges and their designs.
  2. Have a go at trying out some different construction techniques e.g. how to stick/join different materials. At home you could try using glue and comparing that to using tape, for example.
  3. Design your bridge – this would take the form of a drawn, labelled diagram.
  4. Build it and test it!
  5. Evaluate your final product – take a photo and share it!
