Building Aeroplanes In Design Technology

The Year 1 students love Design Technology and there is always an air of excitement when they get to build their very own design. During history they learnt about the Wright brothers’ first flight and we thought it would be fun for the students to design and build an aeroplane.

First, the students used play dough to build their aeroplane and then did some research at home to find different recyclable materials with which to build their design.  They were very creative in making aeroplanes of all shapes and sizes.

Usually in our Design Technology lessons the students collaborate and assist each other to build their designs, but this time they had to be physically distant. However, they still managed to tell one another how they could put the planes together.
