Year 6 Design Technology - Shelters

Year 6 recently completed their Design Technology project on the topic of Shelters.  We began by comparing a variety of shelters, analysing their purposes and looking more closely at the design of each one. 

We completed investigations into which materials would be best to construct models from, and which materials would be best for waterproofing our own models.

Following on from this, we designed our own shelters for our own chosen purposes.  Each of our shelters had to have a unique feature.   

Finally, we constructed models of our shelters in small groups and evaluated our completed work.
