Year 5 DT Update

Year 5 have been busy designing their own 'doodlers' as part of their final DT project. After deconstructing an already built model, pupils analysed how it worked and discussed which components were essential. This investigation helped them think critically about what they might include or leave out in their own designs.

Using the knowledge gained, pupils began planning their doodlers with a strong focus on problem-solving and creativity. They considered how different parts work together, experimented with ideas, and refined their designs based on what they observed during the deconstruction task.

Their success criteria was:

  • I can identify design criteria based on findings from an investigation.
  • I can develop my design based on key points discovered in an investigation.
  • I can incorporate a motor into an electrical system.

Pupils showed fantastic teamwork throughout the project. Well done Year 5!
