Roman Chariot Making

Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed their DT work this week, designing and making a Roman chariot.

The brief was to construct a Roman chariot that could hold cubes and race along a track. First, the children researched chariots and learned that the Romans used them for war, hunting and, primarily, for sport where they raced them. Next, the children designed their own chariot thinking about the dimensions and visual appeal. Then, the children used saws and glue-guns to make the vehicle and decorated their carriages using card and colour. There was some very attractive final products although how far they could race remains to be seen.
