Wonderful windmills
Date: 9th Feb 2024 @ 4:09pm
This week we had a challenge in DT , we had to design a windmill.It had to be stable and the sails move.
We used paper cups for the structure but had to make them heavier with plasticine so they didn’t fall over.
Next we used another paper cup to make the sails by cutting into it, we had to try to make them even and had fun decorating them.
Finally we attached the parts together using a straw and cocktail sticks. We had to adapt our designs to try to make our windmills more stable and to help the sails work better. Overall we did a pretty good job!
In Science we enjoyed voting for our favourite pets, we recorded using a chart and created a block graph showing our results. The favourite pets in the Giraffes were cats and dogs.
Have a fabulous half term, just a reminder, we are off on our walk to the Brickcroft the first Tuesday back. 🙂
