What do you think would be the perfect vehicle for an explorer?

The children in Year 2 had to think about the different terrains an explorer might visit. Places included deserts, the Arctic and a tropical rainforest.

The children then had to choose their own materials for their vehicle design. In the making process, the children had to consider: 

• Wheels and axis (using different materials, shapes and sizes for wheels)
• Joining (using glue, sellotape, staples)
• Materials (is their vehicle made out of paper, cardboard or plastic?)
• Shape (Is their vehicle big, small, long, square, or cylindrical? Why have they chosen that shape?)
• Finishing (painting, felt-tips, paper to colour and finish their design)
