balancing clowns
Design Technology has replaced Art on the timetable this half term. We're 'doing' moving toys. This week we thought about linear, rotating and rocking movements, played with paper and sketched some possible designs. We used a circle folded in half as the basis for our rockers and envisaged horses, boats etc. I was inspired, and after school played around with the idea of balancing stuff on the rocker - came up with this. It takes a bit of patience to balance the clowns on the rocking base - am thinking this could possibly be offered as a downloadable.

Hi John, I love this idea! I'm sure the children found it really inspiring and a great challenge. Helz x
Cheers Helz. It's always a fine line between showing them an idea and wanting them to come up with something on their own - sometimes works, sometimes they just copy.
