Taxis

 The infants have been busy designing and making their taxis over the last few weeks. 

They started by thinking about a criteria- they had to include: 2 axles, 4 wheels and it must be able to move. 

Next, it was onto designing- they drew and labelled their taxi designs, making sure to include the features we discusses beforehand. 

Finally, it was time to make our vehicles. The children:
  •  measured and sawed dowel for the axel
  • measured 5cm from the edge of the cab 
  • punched holes to thread the axel through
  • added wheels and rubber stoppers 
  • painted and added the finishing touches
The finished products look super and the children were delighted that they all moved!

We also counted down as we watched the astronauts take off in the space shuttle and wondered what it would be like to be in space. We then practiced our 'mark making', drawing our space rockets with chalks and pretending to be rockets flying into space.  In our topic Marvellous Machines, w
