Design and Technology in Year 3: Galleons

November 21, 2014
Year 3 have been busy researching and sketching in preparation for making a Tudor galleon. The children gained inspiration from their recent trip to the Golden Hinde and couldn’t wait to start building their own model ships fit for great explorers like Sir Francis Drake. Year 3 have planned to include sails, rigging, masts, and even cannons that move. The galleons should bear a close resemblance to the real thing and we look forward to seeing the completed creations in the next couple of weeks.
