How's your German?

Someone has changed your blog settings to German!

I think this is quite funny, however it does mean that there is someone who is 'playing with your blog' without talking to Mrs Harford first! Remember this is a shared tool that is to support your learning.

Technology Challenges

On Tuesdays we have been extending our knowledge on how to make stable and strong stuctures as part of our prior learning for the wearable arts. Paulette has been giving us technology challenges for us to create differnet objects using different materials.

This week we had 20minutes to make the tallest structure. It had to be stable, have a strong base, be free standing (at least 30 sec) and only be made out of 1 sheet of newspaer and 1 meter of cellotape.

So far we have found out that you need a strong base as this makes the structure stand better. Shapes like triangles, squares, rectanges and circles can make good bases. It is important to crease the paper to make it stronger and to plan our ideas before we start by talking in our groups.

This is us at work.
