Y1 and every week DS gets a 'project' type homework assignment: build a spaceship, design a timeline etc etc. Over half term we have to make some bagpipes from junk modelling! err, OK, help someone please?! I'm not the most creative person in the world - where on earth do I start?! (Apart from Scotland, obviously!) Blush xx

Something bag shaped for a start, then three tubes sticking out of one end, called the drones, I think. At the other end another tube which you would cut a line of holes in, a bit like a recorder, called the chanter.

Good luck - I remember when my son had to make a castle.
