Base 2 hit by tsunami

As part of our topic day, the children have looked at tsunami’s and how they work.

They have created wordles that represent vocabulary associated with tsunami’s. they also created their own tsunami’s in the classroom.

What did you learn about tsunamis?

Building bridges in design and technology

Base 2 are constructing bridges out of paper. They have a budget of £20 to buy materials and hire equipment. Glue, rulers, scissors are being hired in 5 or 10 minute slots. All paper, Sellotape, glue, art straws are chargeable per unit making the children really think about what they use and question whether they really need it!

The target is to build a strong construction but it must also cost effective and within budget!

The other children can loan each other money but it comes at a heavy cost to the purchaser whereas the seller can double their money as an incentive for their own good budgeting skills!

What have you enjoyed most about this project?

What skills did you use?
