﻿Hello, everybody. It is so lovely to see you. Thank you so much for opening up your design and technology lesson for today. My name is Miss Larham and I am your design and technology teacher. I was wondering, would you be able to tell me what your name is? Can you tell me now? Amazing. It's lovely to meet you and welcome you to your lesson today. Now we've got a really busy lesson ahead of us today. So, shall we get started? Fantastic. So, today you have opened up a lesson one of our structures unit. We have a going to be learning all about freestanding structures. Now, today we're going to be having a think. What is a structure? I wonder if you've heard of the word structure before. I'm wonder what you know already. Let's see what equipment we will need for today's lesson. So you will need some paper, a pencil, fill tape, and some scissors. I remember because Miss Larham is asking you to use scissors today, you must be supervised by a parent or a carer. So, do you need to pause the video now and go and collect any of those things, now's the time to do it and you can press play when you're ready. Off you go. Fantastic. Welcome back and thank you for collecting your paper, pencil, tape, and scissors. Let's take a look at what our lesson is going to look like today. So, first, all together we are going to do an intro quiz, but to challenge you with a couple of questions then we're going to do some star words, and we're going to be looking at famous structures. After that, you going to do a talk task for me followed by looking at a definition, then you guys do some independent learning for me and finally all together, right at the end of the lesson, we're going to do an exit quiz where you will answer a couple more questions for me. That sounds like a busy lesson. Doesn't it? Welcome to your intro quiz. Well, I'm going to ask you a couple of questions, and our questions today are going to be based on this photograph that you can see right here next to me. Take a moment have a really good look at that picture on your screen. Can you see that thing that goes over the water? That thing that you would walk over to get from one side to the other. Can you see that? That thing that's arch over the water? Now that's got a special name. Hasn't it? What do we call that thing we walk over to get from one side of the other? Here's a clue. It starts with a letter /b/, /b/. What do you think? Few seconds to think. What's that called? /b/. Have you got your idea? Have you got your answer? Can you tell me now? Well done. If you said bridge, you are a superstar. Well done. A bridge is where can walk over from one side to the other. Fantastic. I've got the challenge question. Have another good look at that bridge for me. Have a good look. Can you tell what material is it made from? Is it made from plastic or is it made from wood? What do you think? Is it a plastic bridge or a wooden bridge? Plastic or wood? Few seconds to think. Can you tell me now? Wow, if you said wood, well done. You have been so amazing at my intro quiz today. It is a wooden bridge. Oh, great job. It is time for our star wards. Can you give your hands a flash like me? Well done. Now we going to do my turn and when I put my hands forward like this, it's going to be your turn. Shall we have a practise? We're going say star words. Am I going to say it, big loud voices? So, I hope you're ready. My turn, star words! Your turn. Oh, that was loud. Well done. Let's try again. Should we use our quiet voices this time? My turn, star words. Your turn. Well done for joining in. Shall we say what star words are for today's lesson? Okay. This one, my turn structure. Your turn. Well done, structure. Well done for joining in. Let's see what's next. Freestanding. Freestanding. Well done. Our last star word for today is hollow. Hollow Well done. Now you might think, "Oh, Miss Larham, "I don't know what any of those words mean." Or you might say, "Miss Larham, "I think I've heard of some of those words before." Now don't worry. As we move through our lesson today we will cover all of our star words. So by the end, you will know exactly what they mean. So, now we'll be going to do is have a look at some famous structures. I'm going to show you some photographs of some famous structures from around the world. I wonder if you recognise any of them. Are you ready knew to be the first famous structure from around the world? Excellent. Here it is. Wow. This famous structure we will find in London. I wonder what type of structure you think it is. Have we used that word already today? Beginning with /b/, it's a bridge. Isn't it? And it's a tower bridge in London, going over the river Temp. Let's see what's next. Wow. Hey, we have another bridge and this bridge is Scotland. They're still part of the United Kingdom. Can you tell what type of transport is using the bridge? Have a look at the transport on it. Can you tell me the transport now? Well done. There is a train using this bridge in Scotland. Isn't that? Let's see the next picture. Now, this bridge is all the way from Vietnam and this is the Da Nang bridge. Can you see how that bridge is being held up? What's a cool structure that is? And there's no trains on this one. What's walking across this bridge? Can you say that it's people? Wow. So we've looked at three famous structures and they were all bridges. Well done. I wonder which one's your favourite? Did you enjoy looking at those three photographs of those different bridges? Me too. Now you're going to have some talk time now with somebody around you. I want you to talk all about bridges. Have you ever seen a real life bridge before? Have you ever driven over a bridge? When was it? What were you doing? Did it take you a little bit of time or a long amount of time to get over your bridge? What was it made from? What did the sides look like? Were you really high? Have some time to talk about bridges with somebody in your house. So, pause the video now, have your chat about bridges and press play when you're ready. Off you go. Now, before I showed you a special type of structure we've been looking at bridges. Haven't we so far? Now on your screen I have three more structures. I've got The Shard, The Sydney Opera House and The Eiffel Tower. I wonder what do you notice about the photographs of these structures on your screen now? Pause the video. Have some time to think about what do you notice about these three structures on your screen then press play when you're ready. Off you go. Fantastic. Welcome back. I wonder, what did you notice? Did you notice, are these bridges on your screen now? No, they're not bridges. Are they? Bridges are a type of structure. Are they? What did you notice about these? 'Cause they're not bridges. Did you notice that they are buildings? Did you notice that they got high up into the sky? Did you also notice that they were made up of lots of different shapes? I noticed that too. So, they're not bridges, but they are buildings. Are these structures or buildings that got high into the sky and then made up of lots of different shapes? Well done if you noticed any of those things. Now we're going to have to think about the definition of the word structure. So, definition means that when we use the dictionary, we find out what does that word mean? So we're going to have a think about the word structure and its definition. What does the word structure mean? So, now you're going to pause the video. I think about what you know about structures. Can you explain to someone near you what the structure is? Or could you even challenge yourself and write it down then you're going to press play when you're ready. Off you go. Welcome back, everybody. Well done for having a thing about what is a structure. I wonder what words, sentences or ideas you came up with. I'm going to show you my definition to see if it was close to yours. Here it is. A structure, it is a combination of materials and/or parts to create a 3D shape. That sounds a little bit confusing. Doesn't it? Let's break it down a little bit. So it is a combination, that means a mixture or different things. So, it's a mixture combination of materials. I know some materials. I bet you know too. I know wood, bricks, plastic, metal. Do you know any more materials? Fantastic. So, it's a combination of materials, a mixture of different materials that it could be wooden metal and all parts. So, a structure is a combination of different parts all put together. So they take lots of different parts of the structure and they put it all together. So, is a mixture of materials or parts put together to create, to make a 3D shape. Remember 3D shape is not flat where we can go around them, where can go in them, where can go on them. So our structure is a combination and mixture of materials or parts all put together to make, to create a 3D shape that we can go around, inside, on top, next to. Well done. If you knew any of those words at all and if your definition was close to that amazing thinking. Now we are really confident with what a structure is. I've got the little challenge for you and it's called odd one out. So one of the pictures on your screens now doesn't fit in with the other pictures. So which one of these is the odd one out? At the top we've got The Angel of the North, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, here we got a wasp nest and here we've got the Guggenheim museum. So what I would like to do is pause the video and see if you can decide which one of these is the odd one out, which one doesn't fit with the rest of the pictures? Then press play when you're ready. Off you go. welcome back. Both of having a think. I wonder which one you chose. Can you tell me now? Shall we say if you're all right? Let see. If you said wasp nest. Well done. The wasp nest is the odd one out. The other three pictures, The Angel of the North, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Guggenheim museum, they're real structures, aren't they? They're 3D, they're made from different materials and parts and they all stand high into the sky. Hold on a minute. Of course is 3D, is made up of different parts. I wonder what makes it a little bit different? Did you notice that all of the other three were made by humans? The wasp nest, that wasn't made by humans, that was made by wasps. Wasn't it? So that makes it the odd one out. Also The Angel of the North, The Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Guggenheim museum, they can all stand up by themselves. They're a special type of structure. They're called a freestanding structure. So, well done if you noticed that as well. So do you remember that word I just told you? Freestanding structure, they're all the structures that can stand up all by themselves. So they can stand there without anybody holding them up or anything holding them up, they stand there nice and strong all by themselves. So you're going to do a task now based on freestanding structures. So, make sure you've got your pencil and your paper ready. Okay. So what you're going to do now, you're going to have a really good look around the place that you are in right now. And you are going to record all the freestanding structures you can see. So, all the things that stand up by themselves. If you have a favourite one you've seen on TV or even visited, you can record that one too. So on your paper, you're going to write or draw, it's up to you. All of the freestanding structures that you can see and even the ones you mind to visited, you can record those too. Okay. So then you're going to press play when you're ready. Ready when you have a page full of freestanding structures that you can see or you can think of. Off you go. Welcome back everybody. I hope you managed to find some freestanding structures around the place that you are in now. I managed to find some freestanding structure too. Should I show you my drawing? There we go. So I managed to find a chair, I can see the chair was standing up all by itself and that was because of the four legs that it has. The same, I found my table. That's a freestanding structure because these legs help it to stand up all by itself. And I thought, hold on. My house that I'm in right now is also a freestanding structure, it stands up all by itself. I thought about that bridge that I go over with my special walk that I do at the weekends. I walk over a bridge over a little stream and I thought, what do I have in my garden that's a freestanding structure? Oh, my shed. My shed is standing up all by itself. And finally I found my bookshelf full of books, it was standing up by itself. Tell me my books are falling over. They're not freestanding structure. Are they? Can you tell me one thing you found in the place you're in now, one freestanding structure? Tell me now. Brilliant choice. They stand up all by themselves. Well done everyone. of some freestanding structures that I forgot to include on my work. I forgot about all the freestanding structures we would find at the park. I love going to the park. Do you love going to the park? Great. That's all there's swings, there's slide, there's a Seesaw, and there's roundabouts, all my favourite things to go on. I have a good look at all of those pictures on your screen for me, all of those things we would find at the park. Can you spot me any shapes? Pause the video, have a good look and find out what shape can you see then press play. Off you go. Welcome back. I wonder what you found. I was thinking when I was looking at all of those things from the park, there were lots of polls. There were lots of cylinder shapes, the poles holding things up. So can you stay on the swing? You can see those wooden poles holding up the swing structure. Can you see, even on the slide, at the bottom of the slide, there's two little poles, two little cylinders that are holding up the slide. I noticed some cylinders on the roundabouts as well. The parts where you hold on and even the bit in the middle and even on your seesaw, the bit that's holding up the plank of wood where you seesaw is a pole too. I wonder if we could think about that pole shape, its the cylinder shape. Should we have a look at that together? Okay. So now we're going to have a gut thing. If we can make this cylinder shape all by ourselves, our invent cylinder shape hole, that means I can see through it. I can see all of you, I can see all the way from one end to the other. And all shape, all cylinder is going to be hollow today as well. So to do this activity you will need, some scissors, fill tape, and paper. Are we going to have a go at rolling up our paper to see if we can get this cylinder shape? Now let me try it, we're going to try this way first. Rolling it up. Give my hands a little tap, give a little tap on the top to make sure that the ends are nice and flat. Now let's see if that works. If it stands up by itself, ready? Oh, no. I made my cylinder, but it doesn't stand up by itself. I wonder what I need to do. I wonder, should I use my tape to tape it altogether so it holds it shape? Good thinking. So, with your tape you need to find ends and you need to cut yourself using your scissors really, really safely, make sure your parent or your carer is supervising when you do this. Then you cut, let go. attach it to my table for when I need it. Let's try it again. I've to roll up my paper the I will tap on the top. The bottom. Make sure the ends are nice and flat, we don't want paper sticking up out of the way. Okay? So I'm going to add up my tape I cut a minutes ago, then let's place that where the paper ends. fully covered fill tape. I have made myself a cylinder and it stands up all by itself. Just like this one, let's check it's hollow. Can I see all the way through it? Yep. I can see all of you. Now I wonder if I turn my paper the other way this time. If I can roll it up. I made a really tall cylinder! I turned my paper around and made it taller than the other one. I wonder if I can make a really, really thin cylinder. How would I have to do that? Roll the paper for really tightly. Good thinking. I could do really, really tight roll. Really tin cylinder, let see. I definitely can't see you as well. I wonder how would I make a really wide cylinder? Do I have to roll it up a little bit more loosely? Let's try that and roll it this way. Make sure my big rolls that are not too tight this time. Given all tap, I've made a really wide cylinder. I can see you all really, really clearly. I can take this together. So what you're going to do now is you're going to have a go at making me some cylinders. Can you make me a tall one? Can you make me a small one? Can you make me a really, really thin one? Can you make me really, really a wide one? It's your time to have a go. Then remember you need your tape, get yourselves some tape ready by using your scissors. Don't forget to have a parent or carer supervising. Roll up your paper, you'll to tap on each end to make sure it's all lined up and then add on your tape. Make sure it stands up by itself. I'm going to say if it's a tool of my friend Gerald, spoke my friend, Gerald, the next one I'm going to try and say I'm going to make it taller than him. It's your turn everybody. Pause the video. Maybe lots of cylinder and then press play when you're done. Welcome back everybody. I hope you managed to make me lots of different cylinders using your paper. Well done for taking path. We have come to the end of our lesson, but before we go I've got one tricky challenge question for you. I want to see if you can remember the name of this shape, this 3D shape that we spotted in some of our freestanding structures. It is a few seconds to think. Tell me now. Amazing. If you said cylinder. Good job. A cylinder is one of the shapes that we see in our freestanding structures. Well done everybody. Now I can't wait to see you next lesson. Well done everybody. Bye.

work confidently within a range of contexts, such as imaginary, story-based, home, school, gardens, playgrounds, local community, industry and the wider environment

use simple design criteria to help develop their ideas

generate ideas by drawing on their own experiences

In this lesson, we will gain an understanding of what is meant by the term 'structures' by looking for them in their environment.

Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate. Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised if equipment is required.
