💦🔧 Year 6 Class Blog: Water Wall Project! 💦🔧
On Thursday, Year 6 designed and built a water wall for our Reception pupils. We started by researching how water walls work and investigating pulleys and the Archimedes’ screw, looking at real-life examples to understand how they move water. We then designed our ideas by creating criteria based on the user, purpose and function. We sketched plans, made prototypes and chose strong, stable 3D structures. We also focused on using recycled materials to reduce plastic pollution and talked about eco-friendly engineering, including Nav Sawhney’s Washing Machine Project.🌍♻️
Next, we made our water walls, practising skills like cutting, tying knots, sticking and making holes safely. Finally, we tested and evaluated them with the Reception children, checking how well they met our design criteria.✂️✏️
A great day of creativity, teamwork and engineering!🌟🌟🌟
