DT - Anderson Shelters
DT: Anderson Shelter
To end our WW2 unit, year 6 have been busy making Anderson shelters as part of the DT curriculum. The children spent time identifying features of Anderson Shelters from WW2 and used this to develop design ideas. They really focused on the structure of the product and how they could strengthen their final products to make it as safe as possible! Finally, using their understanding of circuits, from their study of Electricity in science, the children created a working circuit to go inside their Anderson shelter to add light. Children worked in pairs to build their shelters and these pictures display the finished pieces.
