On Wednesday we had the second of our STEM days as part of the Sensation Activation Rolls Royce project. First Miss Coburn told us what we would be doing in a whole school assembly. She explained how we would be better technologists and engineers by designing and making models of a new story chair for our playground.
Our first mission was to design how we wanted the back, arms and legs of our new chair to look. We looked at other chairs and used our imaginations to think of new ideas. We had some super ideas like a king themed chair, a beauty and the beast themed chair and a book themed chair!
Next we had to copy our ideas onto our final designs. This was when we could make little changes to our designs to make sure they were amazing and unique to our school!
In the afternoon we made models of our final chair designs using foil and sticky tape. We found the foil really tricky to build with because our models wouldn't stand up. In the end and after lots of hard work our models looked great.
