Once upon a Design Technology lesson, Year Three made some fantastic photograph frames for our Valentines. We were so pleased with ourselves as they looked so impressive until...
Mrs. Armstrong said that they couldn't possibly be photograph frames because they wouldn't stand up on their own. They did not have a stand you see! Oh, no!
So we thought for a while to generate some ideas. We all thought of some winning designs.
We selected three pupils to tell us about their ideas.
We had to do a spot of problem solving. How could we create a stand? What materials would we use? This boy was successful with a triangular arrangement of cardboard. Hurrah for him!
This pupil suggested a rolled arrangement made from cardboard. The frame just rolled over. He went back to the drawing board.
Here were three clear successes!
Look, Mum - no hands! Yes we could create photograph frames that would stand on their own!
More fabulous frames!
And more!
And yet more!
Now our next problem was to decide who to send our 'Valentine Photograph Frames' to!
