Specialism: Planning the making of our designs


Once we had our design ideas we had to think about how we were going to make them


the information we gave was an opportunity for discussions about why nails or other aspects of our designs might or might not be appropriate


why rope might not be good for the senior students


why feet may not be appropriate for our design/s


then we had to show our understanding of materials and their properties...


then try and guess how an existing design might be made...using instructional writing and modal (bossy) verbs... stating materials and equipment we could use...

we also did a little learning about the difference between timber (wood) and manufactured boards.. learning about why some boards (MDF) are not good for us and why we need to behave safely around them


then we started our planning... 


making sure we wrote each stage and listed materials and equipment we might use... we didn't know if it would work but we used the prior knowledge we had and tried to be sensible and logical in our thinking...


problems we may have


skills we need to learn...


hopefully we might be right... we will soon see..
