Clever Kids Create Colourful Clocks!




Have you ever wondered how to make a clock?
Well, take a look at these photos. Firstly, we learnt all about the history of clocks and how people used to tell the time before clocks were invented. We took clocks apart and looked at their mechanisms. The design and planning stage was really important. This guided us in the 'making' part of the process. But some of our finished clocks did not look like our original plans, so we reflected on the changes we had made.
Have a look at these clocks and tell us what you think.
(Incase you are wondering.........some of our photos were taken on our mufti day. We came dressed as something starting with P)
What would you come as?

  6. Wow - I didn't realise it was possible to come with so many different ideas for clocks! I am really impressed with the amount of planning and hard work that has gone into making these clocks. Are they still on display in the class as I would love to come and see them?
