DT project with Year 8

The pupils showed an interest in making a variety of materialized objects such as using wood to construct a hammer, spear, axe. One of the pupil's, with staff support, used different materials of shredded cardboard, cardboard boxes, plastic tubes, fabric lids to make their own robot with the body features of a head, arms and legs and "I will cut a square out for the robot's face". The pupil also used the resources for "this can be his hat" and "we could use this thread for his jumper hoodie". The pupils worked together in groups as they provided each other with advice on how to smooth or demolish the outer shape of their object for example; one pupil said "I would get a wooden block and put the sandpaper over so then you will be able to move it around the wood quicker".
