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

DT

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!

• Have a go at making your very own bread: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zrxd7ty
• Make sure you ask an adult for help though.
