Blast from the past - we keep updating some come back !

Our topic this term is "Blast from the past" and in Tech we are looking at the old fashioned - retro toys they had back then. We will research these and then look at making some of them.
It is early days yet but we have pull along wooden toys, periscopes and wooden puppets at the front for choice so far...
We shall see
This week wthe students learnt about the Jacobs Ladder and Mr Gover showed them how to make one. By the end of this week all the Intermediate children will have made a Jacobs Ladder to take home.
Next week they will work out how we will "upsize" the ladder to personalise it a bit more

Week 2

We have looked at wooden toys and researched the different types. We have decided on what we would like to make and then drawn full size plans and made a model.. if we stick to the plan we should have our toy made by week 7... next week we will draw it on and cut it out - or at least start to anyway

Week 3

everybody seems to be sticking to the plan - most of the children had models aor plans or both. Quite a few got to start to make their toys and cut out most of the bits - nex tweek we will hopefully finish cutting them all out
