Year 6 Technology - Push-karts are go!!!

Year 6 are learning to use and adapt a design process in order to make Push-karts for a Push-kart race at the end of this term (this may need to be pushed in to Term 2 but we will see - all part of adapting the process!!).


This is a huge process and we are about to start assembling Push-karts, fingers crossed!


The children have had to re think many of their ideas, this has been tough as dreams were BIG! 

They have shown great perseverance and amazing positive attitudes in the process.  
There is so much creativity and ingenuity that Room 2 is humming every Tuesday!


We have two amazing parents helping us and we truly love them both!  Ian and Emeila you are out stars - thank you!!  We also have parents supporting us from home by encouraging their children and helping them to go through the process of acquiring all they need - lots of visits to the dump!


Here are a few photos of the children working through their designs and adapting various items to use for their Push-karts.  Make sure you check out the bottom photos when Room 6 helped us with our planning process.













Thanks to Mrs Robinson and Room 6 for 
helping us to work out a few problems we were having!
It was great to be able to get you to help us through our planning process.
A BIG thank you!












Room 6 a big thank you for helping us to think through and try out our ideas - you were wonderful!
