IT’S A STRETCH<br />
The problem<br />
Project Brief<br />
A CHAIR FOR A BEAR<br />
Goldilocks broke Baby Bear’s chair.<br />
Luckily, Goldilocks bought him a new<br />
one, but what if she hadn’t? Could you<br />
design one for Baby Bear? What kind<br />
of chair would you make if the only<br />
materials you had were newspaper and<br />
sticky tape to put it together?<br />
Important things you need to do!<br />
• You must work in groups of 2–3 pupils.<br />
• You can only use newspaper and a small<br />
amount of sticky tape.<br />
• You must change the shape of the<br />
newspaper using at least five methods.<br />
• You cannot use the newspaper as it is; it<br />
must be changed somehow.<br />
• It must hold the weight of a toy bear.<br />
You can listen to the story again<br />
by scanning the QR code.<br />
The task<br />
1. You need to work out how you can change newspaper into a<br />
chair. What actions can be made to the newspaper to change its<br />
shape? How can you use the newspaper for decoration as well?<br />
2. You need to design a chair for Baby Bear, using newspaper.<br />
3. You will then make a video selling its features to Baby Bear.<br />
