Transport technology

As part of room 8's transport learning we understand that technological outcomes are products developed by people and have a functional nature. In groups we discussed and planned the steps and materials needed to construct a model that would transport a person. Below are some images of learning in our groups and the design taking place. In our next blog will be testing the finished products. PS; we had an awesome time and want to thank Woody - the caretaker, Becky - Max's mum, Nicola - Ryan's mum and David - Max's Grandad, for helping with construction as well as a tremendous thank you to Paul - Conner & Flynn's dad & Ryan's dad for providing many of the materials required & the hours put in to give us a head start and make it possible for the success of our technological models !
