The long awaited Year 6 chairs are here! The children finished making them on the penultimate day of term 2 – all day DT!

 

Throughout this project, Year 6 have: learnt about strong shapes and forces; explored materials, techniques, joins and structures; made initial designs inspired by influential designers; made prototypes and modified designs as appropriate; skilfully made their chairs using a variety of materials and techniques; chosen beautiful fabric designs to make padded coverings and cushions and evaluated their final products. Pupils have also had helpful advice from Mr. Nice (Architecture Lecturer). All the chairs are strong and fully support Action man’s weight. Well done Year 6!

 

We will be taking orders for full-size chairs very soon!
