Primary 3 Technolgy Day

3rd Apr 2025

Today the girls and boys of P3 were set a challenge... to design and make a pair of binoculars!
After looking and using real binoculars in the playground we headed back into class and looked at the different parts of a pair of binoculars. We discussed the important parts of the binoculars and thought about how we could try to make these parts from the junk materials we had. The children then drew designs for their binoculars before starting to make them. The classroom was filled with lots of busy children all focused on the task they had been set. It was challenging at times and there were lots of problems to be solved with the designs. After the making session was over we were busy tidying up, but we did this quickly and really well. Jeff our caretaker won’t know that we created so much mess earlier today!! A fun learning day was had by everyone! 😁
