    • Week beginning 07.12.20

    We hope you have had a relaxing weekend. Here is the work for the week - we are missing you loads!

    This week look a little bit different to normal weeks, as it is DT week!!! I am sure you are very disappointed not to be in school, but hopefully you can do some designing and building at home too.

    Any problems, just email Mrs Hughes: s.hughes@st-johns-pri.bham.sch.uk

    Monday: In school, we are going to be making fairground rides that are powered by electronic equipment - a motor and battery. Now, as you probably won't have these at home, you might have to adapt your design. 

    1. Look for inspiration! 

    • This is the first thing that designers do - they look at other designs. 
    • Create a PowerPoint on BGFL showing loads of different fairground rides - helter scelter, tea cups, carousel or maybe a big wheel. 
    • Make a list under each picture explaining the materials they have used and who is the ride aimed for. 
    • Look at the PowerPoint saved below for help.
    • A video all about design: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zqbpyrd

    Tuesday: Your design!

    • Decide which fairground you would like to make.
    • Sketch out your own design on paper - think about the materials you might use, for example: for the big wheel, you might use 2 paper plates to create the wheel part. You might also use long sticks to hold up the wheels. How much you get it to rotate?

    Wednesday and Thursday: Get making!!!

    • Think about your resources - you will have to use what you have around the house, for example: lego, cupboard boxes, pencils, sticks from the garden. 
    • Consider what colour it will be. 
    • Can you make it rotate?
    • Have a look at the pictures below for inspiration. 

    Friday: Evaluate

    • List 3 things that you think are really successful about your design.
    • List 3 things that you think could be better about your design. 
    • Make a questionnaire to ask your family too.

    Extra: DT also involves cooking!
