Lukas Grows Down



This term we have been making this movie. It is based off the book called Otto Grows Down.

I enjoyed making this movie because I got to pretend to be a baby.

Flat Packs

I made a flat pack house. Some of the issues I had was trying to connect the side walls.


 Design Brief
We want a decorative model that can be put on top of the shelves by the windows. The model needs to be:
  • Made from cardboard
  • A flat pack design
  • Good enough to go in a shop
We had a go at following instructions to make a flat pack Christmas Tree. We used this concept to help us to create our own flat pack using the design process.




As part of the design process we created prototypes and reflected on what worked and what didn't.

This term we are doing the Seed2Table programme.

Maths

This term WALT use scales to measure the mass of objects. I am getting more confident with reading scales and estimating how much an object weighs.

Creative Writing

This term we have had a lot of fun with our writing. I am really proud of what I have achieved. Below is one of my favourite pieces that I wrote this term.
