They have been given the design brief to 'design and make a desk tidy for a teacher's messy desk'. To do this, the children have had to explore different forms of shell structures, use their design skills and experiment with different joins. Some of the many joins they created include a flange, a slot, hole punch and wire and finally a light flap.** **The children have chosen to create their desk tidy using a flange as it is the most appropriate, is the correct shapes to fit pencils in and is a lot more stable in comparison to other joins. Here are some pictures of the children taking part.** [Y3](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/tag/y3) [DT](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/tag/dt) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/2H_Harvest.png)](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/2024-10-04-2h-harvest) Previous ### [2H Harvest !](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/2024-10-04-2h-harvest) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Borwick_first_day(1).png)](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/2024-10-09-borwick-bon-voyage) Next ### [Borwick Bon Voyage](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/2024-10-09-borwick-bon-voyage) ### Our Parents - [Latest News](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news) - [Newsletter](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/latest-communications) - [Term Dates](https://hawes-side.co.uk/termdates) - [Our Uniform](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-uniform) - [Our Meal Service](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-meal-service) - [Parent Pay](https://www.parentpay.com/) - [PTFA](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/ptfa) - [Parent View](https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/) - [School Admission Information](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/school-admission-information) - [Starting School - Foundation Children - September ](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/starting-school-foundation) - [Family Support](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/family-support) - [Our School Day](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-school-day) - [Out of School Clubs](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/Out-of-School-clubs) - [Family Learning](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/family-learning) - [Leading Parent Partnership](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/leading-parent-partnership-award) - [Attendance & Punctuality](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/attendance-punctuality) - [Calendar](https://hawes-side.co.uk/calendar) ##### Location Johnsville Avenue Blackpool FY4 3LN ##### Contact Us 01253 402541 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Hawes-Side-Academy-106552978546097) - [X](https://twitter.com/HSlearners) © Copyright 2018–2026 Hawes Side Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://hawes-side.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/images/announcements/Switch_On_png.png)
