Class 2 have been creating their very own pencil pots in DT this half term! The children explored structures and learned what makes them stable. We discussed the meaning of the word stable and investigated how shapes and bases help structures stay upright. The children then designed their own pencil pots, thinking carefully about how to make them strong and balanced, and experimented with wider bases to improve stability. It was wonderful to see them using their creativity alongside problem-solving and design skills. Here are some pictures of the process below.
