Technology - Planning Future Playgrounds

Designing playgrounds and creating models was such a fun, motivating learning experience with all children thoroughly immersed in the task.

The models only had to be examples of chosen playground equipment rather than whole playground designs, but one group begged to differ finishing their entire playground as a model version including toilets!

Playground Drawings

We have been practising drawing the playground outside our classroom.  This is in preparation for drawing our own "future" playground designs for technology.

We were so impressed with Lily's sketch and the depth perception skills shown!

Collaborative Research on Playgrounds

As part of our Technology unit on Future Playgrounds, we have started thinking and talking about our favourite playgrounds and what we like about them.   We have also started researching inspiring playgrounds and have posted helpful links on a class padlet to help each other.   See below.
