Stunning structures for perfect playgrounds!

By Year 6, in Year 6 - Friday, 20 June 2025

In design technology, this halfterm, Year 6 have been designing and making models of playground equipment. First, we discussed what makes the perfect playground and considered the materials and designs that went into the structures involved. After this, we moved on to design structures and play apparatus that we would love to use ourselves.

This week, we began to make prototype models using a range of materials and equipment. We used saws to cut dowel, and hot glue guns to combine the different materials we used. Our models are looking fabulous so far and we are eager to enhance and refine them next week!
