We are learning to design a vehicle

Success Criteria:
Using what I know, I can include features that will suit different climates and landscapes
I can create a neat and detailed drawing of my vehicle
I can label each part and effectively describe why it has been included
I can use a ruler and my space effectively

Great news! Primary 3 have been working extremely hard to help Gamba the giraffe to get back home to Africa, and we finally received the postcard we have been waiting for to let us know that he made it! He also set us one final challenge- to design a vehicle that he could have used to travel across all of the different landscapes he discovered on his journey. We had to use all of our research to create a design, thinking carefully about all of the climates and living things that Gamba met along the way.

We think Gamba will be very impressed with our designs. We included lots of features that demonstrated our knowledge of the different landscapes, climates and living things we have been learning about. Lots of us also included thoughtful things to make Gamba more comfortable on his travels.

We have been keeping a track of Gamba’s journey on our world map in the classroom and we are very proud that all of our hard work helped him to get back home.
