During the Autumn half term Teams JD, DB and LF have been studying the similarities and differences between Wombwell and Whitby. As part of their Design and Technology learning, the children were asked to research, design and create a box to contain a holiday souvenir. The children spent time researching what a holiday souvenir is, looking at what holiday souvenir would be appropriate for the ize of box they were designing as well as looking at different shaped boxes, their construction and what would be a useful box itself. The children then moved onto designing their box, considering how the box would be constructed and how it would be held together. We spent some time constructing prototypes of various shapes and sizes, enabling the children time to evaluate which one would be the most appropriate for its use. The children then created their own boxes using the craft skills they had learned during the day. We then spent time evaluating each others' boxes, identifying what went well and how we could improve our designs for furture DT activities.
