On Tuesday 17th December, P7MM thoroughly enjoyed a whole day of technology. The children worked in pairs, or groups of three, and could decide whether they wanted to complete a project relating to Rainforests or the Titanic; both topics that we have studied during Term 1.
Rainforest Technology
The aim of this project was to build a rainforest inside a shoebox. We learned over the course of the topic about the different layers in the rainforest as well as the plants and animals that live there. We used this information to help us choose the colours and animals for inside our shoe box. We had to carefully use tabs to place our trees in position and stabilise them using hot glue guns. We were so pleased with the results - have a look at the photos below to see for yourself!
Titanic Technology
The children who chose to complete a technology project on the Titanic were tasked with creating a model of the Harland and Wolff cranes that famously helped to build the Titanic. The first step was to paint everything yellow, including the tables, floor and even some of our uniforms!! The children then used some problem solving skills to create the different component, ensuring they fitted together. The final aspect of the project was to fit the pulley and hook. Again, we were delighted with the results - take a look below!
