This half-term in Design and Technology, Year 2 have designed, made and evaluated a Christmas card for their parents using either a slider or a lever.
First, we investigated existing products that have sliders and levers. Next, we created a product specification detailing what our Christmas needed to be successful.
We decided that our Christmas cards needed to:
- have a mechanism
- be bright and coloured neatly
- be Christmas themed.
Then, we did a practical task where we had a go at making our own sliders and levers. After looking at lots of other Christmas cards/images, we designed our own products using either a slider or a lever. We then made our Christmas cards being careful to colour very neatly! Finally, we evaluated our products discussing what we like/dislike and what we would change if we had the chance to do the task again. Well done Year 2!
