Rosie Revere Engineer Story – This book is used as a stimulus and context for exploring aspects of Health and Wellbeing (resilience, Growth Mindset, self-esteem, perseverance) and promotes the themes of creative thinking, problem finding and solving, improving and adapting – which are ‘Engineering Habits of Mind’ (see page 3). The activities suggested here have an engineering focus and sit within the ‘Craft, Design, Engineering and Graphics’ part of the Technologies Es and Os, specifically the ‘Design and construct models/product’, ‘Exploring uses of materials’ and ‘Application of Engineering’ organisers. The suggested learning activities also provide opportunities for Literacy and Numeracy skills to be developed too plus also link to some science outcomes.
