This week our class were given a technology challenge to complete.  Our task was to create a pikau or backpack.  All we were allowed to use was:

  • 15 double sheets of newspaper
  • 1 vivid pen
  • 1 sticky label
  • 2 A4 sheets of card
  • 1 roll of sticky tape
  • scissors

We worked in groups and we had 30 minutes to complete the task.  Mrs Kerr who was in our class was very impressed with how we worked together and to create our backpacks and we had a lot of fun. 

   

  

  

The next day we had a parade of our final products and they were judged by Mrs Kerr and Taine.  The judging criteria was:

  • the backpack had to stay on the model's back for the judging
  • it had to have space inside for belongings
  • it had to be able to be opened and closed
  • it had to have two shoulder straps
  • it was to be visually appealing
  • it needed a clearly visible name label

We were given a point for each of the following criteria and the two winning groups were:

  • Poppy, Amber, Adriana, Molly
  • Harry, Dylan,Thomas, Justin

The winning groups were awarded with chocolate fish for their winning creations.
