DT building outside shelters
S88js
We are looking to do a whole school Design and technology project where classes work together to design and build a shelter to protect from wind, rain or sunshine. Ks1 will use den building materials such as rope, tarpaulin, wooden canes, a few long pieces of wood. And our ks2 classes will be working as a class to design and build a outdoor shelter that will not only be big enough for 4 children but protect them from wind, rain and sunshine. They will get the opportunity to use building materials such as wood, nails, tarpaulin, pallets, etc
Photos attached below are just rough ideas of what they might look like, the children will be designing and making them so they could look different but they will be using similar materials to make it with.
Materials required
Wooden planks
Wooden posts
Wooden Palettes
Screws
Nails
Rope
Tarpaulin
Ply wood
