During this week, students will be exploring the engineering design
process. To do this, students will develop an understanding of
technology and engineering, engineering design skills and the steps in
the engineering process.
Parents' Role: Please discuss with your son or daughter the following
questions: What are some objects that you have used today that
someone had to design at one time? Why is it important for designers
to be careful when they are designing or improving a product? If you
could improve or change a product that you use often, what would it
be and how would you change it? Are new designs always
complicated? How can changes in design make products easier to use?
Does cost have an influence on the way objects are designed? Why
might you decide to redesign a product?
Please make sure that you send in any paper, plastic and cans that
we can recycle and put it in the bins at the front of the school.
Remember our target is 20 000 kg’s. Thank you for your support in
helping our environment and community.
