Well, this week is DT week and we would have been looking at constructing structures using different materials and methods.
I have three DT challenges for you this week – please email photos of any outcomes!
1. Make a den: this could be a cosy reading den inside or an outdoor garden den made from resources you find in your garden. I would love to see any plans you draw up for your den.
2. Raid the cardboard recycling bag and make the tallest tower you can which will support the weight of a lego figure (or equivalent). How high can you go? Bonus points for getting it taller than you!
3. If you have the ingredients, why not have a go at baking soda bread – this doesn’t require yeast and can be easily personalised by the addition of herbs, cheese, spices etc. Please ask before you try this – your parents will be keeping a really close eye on ingredients and may not want you to take the last lemon to make soda bread with!
Have a go at planning the feast that you would like to share with your friends once the ‘lock down’ is over and we can all get together again. Design the meal, think about the decorations and where you would hold the feast (I would like to set tables out in the Gruffalo wood and have a marshmallow toasting pudding course around the fire square).
