Class 4J- Design Technology (1)

Lesson: Design and technology

CLASS 4J - Design Technology Week

At the start of the school's Design Technology week, Class 4J pupils were asked to think about what Design Engineers are like and what they do. The children then went on to look at the function and purpose of different classroom objects. They considered the pros, cons and the interesting features of each object.

After this, the children were asked to consider a specific problem they had encountered within the classroom and to think of a potential solution. They discussed and gathered ideas before deciding upon one classroom invention.

Once the children had formulated their design proposal, they began experimenting with different ways to attach and join cardboard in order to be able to create a prototype of their design and build item.
