Hi, everyone, I'm Mr. Courts and I'm very pleased to join you for today's lesson on Creating bridge collages.

This is part of our Frame structures: bridges unit.

Our lesson outcome for today is: I can cut paper and cards carefully to form a bridge design.

In our lesson today, we have got four new keywords.

I'll say them first and then you repeat them after me.

Are you ready? Super.

Material.

Material.

Material is what something is made from.

Structure.

Structure.

Super.

A structure is something that is made for a purpose, something that is formed and holds its shape.

Collage.

Collage.

Super.

A collage is a picture made by sticking different materials such as paper, fabric and photos onto a surface.

And our final word today is bridge.

Bridge.

Super.

A bridge is a structure that helps people to cross something, such as water, railway or another road.

Well done, everyone.

In our lesson today, we have got two parts, two learning cycles.

And our first part is different types of bridges.

Bridges often look different, but they all share some common parts: buttress, pillars or towers, a deck where people can walk across or drive across, and foundations.

Have you ever noticed these parts of a bridge? If you look very closely at the shapes within a bridge structure, you might spot: a triangle shape.

Triangles.

Can you draw a triangle in the air? Excellent.

A rectangle.

Can you draw a rectangle? Well done.

And a square.

Can you draw a square? Super.

A diamond.

That's like a square turned at an angle, isn't it? That's a bit tricky, that one.

And you might find a cuboid.

We can't draw those with our fingers as easily.

But cuboids, 3D shapes.

Cylinders.

And engineers choose shapes to make their bridges strong and stable.

We are ready for our first check for understanding now.

Are you sitting comfortably? Super.

This is a true or false question.

All bridges look the same.

Is that true or false? Pause the video now and have a little think.

Welcome back.

So true or false? All bridges look the same is false.

Well done.

Why is it false? That's right, bridges often look different, and this is because they are made using different shapes and materials and they're all made for different purposes.

They're also all made by different engineers.

Here are four different types of bridges.

Each one is made from different materials and uses different shapes.

What do you notice about each one? Here's a beam bridge.

Can you say beam? Beam bridge.

Well done.

This is an arch bridge.

Can you say arch? Well done.

A truss bridge.

Can you say truss? Well done.

And suspension bridge.

Suspension.

Can you say that? Well done.

They all look very different, don't they? This is a truss bridge.

And a truss bridge has a triangular frame structure.

Can you see the triangles? Can you spot any of them? Brilliant.

Draw me a triangle in the air.

Show me that you know what a triangle is.

Well done.

These are triangular shapes, and there's some more up here, look.

Some of the features of a truss bridge are: the bridge has a deck to cross over for trains, and there are towers to support the bridge.

The structure is made up using triangles.

This is a suspension bridge and it hangs from strong cables held up by tall towers.

It's got long, thick cables and it's got short, thin cables.

It's got some diamond shapes.

Did you spot those? Brilliant.

And some cuboids and rectangular shapes.

And it's Clifton Suspension Bridge.

Well done.

Some of the key features of this type of bridge are: the towers hold the cables that suspend and support the bridge deck.

And the bridge has a deck to cross over for people and vehicles, and towers help support the bridge too.

And anchors hold the cables to the hillside.

It's a very, very interesting looking bridge, isn't it? This is an arch bridge and it's got that curved shape.

Can you draw that with your finger? Well done.

And this one is made from brick.

You'll see it's got an arch shape and it's got rectangular shapes for the bricks.

Some of the features of an arch bridge are: it's got the deck, the top for people and vehicles to cross.

It's got an arch shape to support the deck.

And there are two pillars, one on either side, and the arch in the middle.

This is a beam bridge and they have the simplest design of all bridges.

Their frame structure includes supports at both ends to hold the deck.

So there's supports on either end and the deck across the middle, and it's made up of rectangular cuboid shapes and cylinder shapes on this example of a beam bridge.

Some of the features of a beam bridge are: the bridge has a deck for people to cross, pillars to support the deck, and the pillars are held in the ground by foundations similar to how a fence post is secured in the ground.

We are ready for our next check for understanding now.

Are you ready? Super.

And I'd like you to match the names of the bridges to the images.

So we've got arch bridge, suspension bridge and beam bridge.

Arch bridge, suspension bridge, beam bridge.

Match them up.

Pause the video now and have a little think.

Welcome back.

Did you manage to match them? Super.

So an arch bridge is C.

Well done.

The suspension bridge is A.

Well done.

And B must be the beam bridge.

Well done.

Other bridges can be created for many different materials and for different purposes.

This is a rope bridge and they're found in trees and valleys and can be quite wobbly.

And this bridge is made from bricks.

We are ready for Task A now, and I'd like you to have a look at those four pictures of bridges.

I'd like you to tell your friend about one of them.

How are they different from each other? What materials are they made from? What shapes can you see in each bridge? And what would each of these bridges be used for? Pause the video now and have a talk with your friend.

Welcome back.

Did you manage to talk to your friend about those bridges? Super.

Well, Lucas and Alex enjoyed talking about the truss bridge.

Lucas says, "This bridge is built using lots of triangle shapes on the sides and the top.

It has a rectangular base for trains to go over." Well done, Lucas.

Alex says, "The bridge has a lot of patterns on it and it looks very strong and sturdy." We are ready for our second part of our lesson now, our second learning cycle, Bridge collages.

A collage is a picture made by sticking different materials such as paper, fabric, photos, onto a surface.

Can you see in the picture? There's different things being glued down.

These are both collages.

Have a look at the bridges and then have a look at the collages.

What shapes and colours can you see? In the top collage, you can see some triangles.

Can you draw me that triangle shape? Well done.

You might also spot some rectangle shapes.

Long rectangles and some squares.

Well done.

And in the bottom picture, you might have spotted some long rectangle shapes.

Well done.

And some curved arc shapes.

Well done.

We're ready to find next check for understanding now.

This is a true or false.

A collage is a photograph taken with a camera.

Is that true or false? Pause the video now and have a little think.

Welcome back.

True or false: A collage is a photograph taken with a camera is false.

Well done.

Why? Why is it false? That's right, a Collage is a picture made by sticking different materials such as paper, fabric or photos onto a surface.

Well done.

This collage is made with bright coloured papers showing how any picture or object can be turned into a fun collage.

This is a collage of an elephant.

To create a bridge collage, look carefully.

You might sketch the outline and then add colour and materials.

This is a sketch of a bridge and here's the collage of a bridge.

You might want to use art straws to make a collage of a bridge.

You can cut the straws and use these to create a bridge effect.

Can you see that truss bridge? And the art straws are used to make the bridge effect.

To cut card and other materials, we use scissors.

Scissors are a tool, so we've got to remember to hold them carefully, sit down when cutting and only cut cards and paper and materials for your project with your scissors.

When you cut with scissors, cutting in a straight line is very important.

Hold the paper in one hand and the scissors carefully in the other.

Take your time and cut carefully.

When you cut a line, you should not see the cut marks.

And cut carefully along the lines.

Remember to stop at the end of each line.

Turn the paper and continue to cut.

If you are cutting a curved line, hold the paper again in one hand, the scissors in the other.

Take your time, cut carefully.

And when you cut, you shouldn't see the cut marks.

And carefully cut along the lines.

But this time remember to turn the paper as you cut around the corner, around the curve.

Using your scissor skills, you can cut different shapes and sizes of paper and cards to use in your collage.

Here's some different shapes, some large and small shapes, and some different materials that you might choose to use.

To make a collage, you will need: backing paper, some bridge pictures to look at and get ideas from, and some cardboard straws, scissors, and a range of paper and card to collage.

And finally, some PVA or a glue stick.

We're ready for our next check for understanding now.

Which one of the following would you use to cut materials for your collage? Is it A, B, or C? Pause the video now and have a little think.

Welcome back.

So which one of the following would you use to cut materials for your collage? It is A.

Brilliant.

The scissors.

We're ready for Task B now, and I'd like you to create a collage of a bridge.

To do this, I'd like you to look really carefully at your favourite bridge picture.

Look carefully at the shapes and the structures that you can see.

And then when you've chosen your picture, I'd like you to put glue on your backing paper, and you can use your scissors to cut out different shapes from a variety of different materials.

And then stick these shapes on the backing paper to create your different effects.

And keep going until you've created your amazing collages.

By putting your glue on your backing paper, it won't be as messy.

Pause the video now and enjoy making your collages.

I look forward to seeing them.

Welcome back.

Have you made your collage? Super.

Have you shown it to your friends? If you haven't, you might like to show your friends your wonderful work.

Well, Izzy chose a truss bridge and she decided that she was going to use art straws to create the effect.

Izzy says, "I cut the straws very carefully and made the triangle shape.

Sticking the art straws down was tricky, but I used a thin layer of PVA glue, a little bit like a spider's web, to stick the straws to my collage." Well done, Izzy, that is a great collage.

Lots of detail.

We've reached the end of our lesson for today, and I hope you've had lots of fun.

I wonder if you can show me a thumbs up if you feel you've met these learning points.

Bridges have different shapes within their structures.

Super.

Bridges are built from different materials.

Excellent.

Scissors must be used carefully to keep everyone safe.

Well done.

Cutting skills can create a bridge collage.

Wonderful.

And finally, scissors can cut straight and curved lines, and use a shearing action to cut.

Well done.

Excellent work today, and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Bye.
