Our DT project this half term has been to create a Night Light! Our design brief was to design a night light for a four year old boy, who was scared of the dark. The children got to know their client and found out their favourite colours (green and white!), shapes (squares and triangles) and favourite things (dinosaurs!) and got to work to create a night light that they would love! Some designs included the initial of the client to give it a more personal touch!
The children designed their lights with their client in mind and then created a prototype using cardboard and tissue paper - they developed their skills by using craft knives to accurately cut out the light holes and also learnt about how 2D nets can be folded to create a 3D shape.
Our client has told us how much they loved the different designs and how grateful they are for the children's help!
