Everyone welcome! # Year 1 DT Exploring Stability ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/D399B2DC-9FBB-4093-B98A-8150A64414A0.jpeg) 3 July 2023 Year 1 used playdough, card and rulers to measure the stability of different 3D shapes in partners during their DT lesson today. They looked at spheres, cubes, pyramids and cuboids and tried to measure the height at which these objects would roll down a piece of card. We compared the results in class and they were then set a challenge to create a small standing structure using the playdough and the knowledge of the 3D shapes they had investigated. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/D399B2DC-9FBB-4093-B98A-8150A64414A0.jpeg) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Maths](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/maths) [Design Technology](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/705F4C94-95F3-4006-AFE6-E062B9C7493E.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-07-03-year-1-science-investigating-smells) Previous ### [Year 1 Science Investigating Smells](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-07-03-year-1-science-investigating-smells) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0467.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-07-04-year-2-bar-charts) Next ### [Year 2 - Bar Charts](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-07-04-year-2-bar-charts) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
