Building our lighthouse

On Friday we were doing DT and we were building our own little model of a lighthouse using things that were lying around the house.Me and my team used a Pringle tube,a yoghurt pot and some sellotape.

We had to make a circuit to light a lightbulb to fit in the top of the lighthouse.My favourite part of making it was when we covered it in red and white paper to make the design of the lighthouse.A top tip is to use a pencil to poke a hole in the piece of cardboard to fit the bulb in it.After we had finished the construction work we drew little windows and made up what its sustainable energy was and we chose that it was powered by the ocean.The tricky thing about it was cutting the yoghurt pot to the size of the tube but apart from that it was really fun.
