This term in Design and Technology the Year 6 students will be engaged in the topic of ‘Amusement Rides’. This topic has been chosen for Term 3 as it relates extremely well with the upcoming Royal Adelaide Show in early September. Throughout this unit students will develop a deeper understanding of the Royal Adelaide Show and its importance for the local community. Furthermore, students will be required to explore and understand the science, safety and marketing ideas behind amusement rides when they design their own plans for a new and exciting ride.
Another essential component of this unit is the incorporation of differentiation and the RAFT task model. This provides the students with the opportunity to have more choice in the assessment task, thus generating more interest from the students. Some of the possible tasks include; create a news report of the new ride, design an advertisement campaign or construct the model, just to name a couple. This is an exciting unit and we encourage you to speak with your child about their task selection and progress.
