Finishing our moving vehicles!

Designing our moving veichles was great  fun especially when we had to deisgn the roof and door. The door was optional but you had to remember to have a way into the frame of the car to turn it on.

You also could  put stuff on like headlights,windows,spoilers,massive exhausts and a lot more
the hardest thing was making the door because you have to have it in a good place so it does not fall down and your hand has to fit in it.

The body also seemed hard because some of us had to restart loads of times

Making three course meals!

Over the last few weeks we have been working towards a three course meal.We were all in groups of  3 or 4 and we planned our healthy 3 course meal! It took a long time to plan all the tiny details but eventually we had a completed plan that we all agreed with.

So far 2 groups have cooked and enjoyed eating their 3 course meal. We did ours yesterday. We set the table up so that it looked nice

My group made soup and bread,for the starter,the bread was the best I'd ever tasted then we had spaghetti and meatballs with a tomato sauce and finally we had chocalate brownies with a runny choclolate sauce! As a result of eating too much we all had bad tummy aches as well as chocolate all round our mouths!!!

The rest of the class will be cooking their meal this week and next week...

Carrying on with our moving vehicles!


During science we were reminding ourselves of how to make circuits for our D.T projects to
make moving, hand-made cars. we have already made the frames and attached the wheels, so we started to make the circuits.
We made one circuit with small lights,a batterry and a range of wires with crocodile clips on the end of them to transfer electricity from light to light.we also had a challenge to make a light switch from a small bit of card and a few paperclips.
In the picture above you can see some of us making switches to make the lights siccesfully go on and off
by using the switch. Once we have finished testing circuits we will make our own circuits to power our hand-made model cars.
Hopefully then we will get to decorate them to make them look a bit more like cars Because there is only the frame at the moment!

The Next stage of our moving vehicles!

    
 

This week we completed the next step in making our moving vehicles.

We put the wheels on the car and put the section that will hold the elastic band on.
Look at the picture above- we are doing well!

This took us an afternoon and Ben says "it was REALLY fun," and Jack says "it was a piece of cake," Not as easy for some other people though :-)

We also are working on the period after the war. We are looking at the seperate decades including 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s



Stay tuned for the next publish :-)
