In Green Class we have been really enjoying our new topic - Superheroes! We have been getting busy with some hands on learning. We decided that a Superhero needs a shield to protect themselves from the Villain. After creating our own Superhero characters for our English story writing, we then decided to make them a shield in our DT lessons.
First we designed our shields and talked about the materials we would use to make it, thinking about the qualities a shield should be such as strong and sturdy.
Next we got busy making our shields, using lots of different materials including cardboard, plastic, foil, and paper mache.
Then we thought carefully about our superheroes outfits and our designs, and decorated our shields using tissue paper, paint, glitter and coloured paper.
Finally we looked at each others shields and gave our opinions. We then thought about our own and decided what we had done well and what we could do to improve them next time.
What would you like to make next in DT?
