  • Rosie Revere Engineer

    Published 24/01/23

    Today, Amazon Class have explored their new book! First we discovered a very well-used toolbox, marked with the letter ‘R’ and found lots of interesting items inside, such as; a red spotty scarf, a notebook, a spanner, nuts and bolts, stencils, ruler, pencil and other drawing tools.

    We made predictions about what our new book might be about. Does the red scarf belong to Little Red Riding Hood on her way to fix something at Granny’s house, or does it belong to a young engineer who spends her days drawing designs and bringing them to life? 

    We were so excited to discover the title of our new book- ‘Rosie Revere, Engineer’ by Andrea Beaty and can’t wait to use this fantastic book to inspire our writing and find out more about Rosie! 🔧 ✏️ 🗒️

  • What is an engineer?

    Published 05/01/23

    This week, Amazon Class have started to explore their new topic for this term- ‘If you were an engineer what would you do?’ We asked the children what they think an engineer is and what sorts of things do they do. I set the children a mini challenge to discuss this question with their grown-ups at home too.

    The children had lots of different initial perceptions of an engineer, as you can see pictured above!

    We can’t wait to get stuck into this topic during Term 3, when we shall be learning about all the different roles engineers can have, the skills they need, the processes they follow, together with exploring early inventions from the past. We shall also be taking part in the ’If you were an engineer’ competition in partnership with UWE Bristol. More info to follow!
