Year 2 had a brilliant DT day! We designed and created our own fairground wheels.
Year 2 DT Day
21st February 2025S Stothard
As part of our Christmas craft day, Year 5 made some yummy “Oreo Christmas Puddings”.
This week, Nursery have loved sharing the story of “Starry-Eyed Stan”. At the end of the story, Stan sets up his own singing school so we couldn’t resist making some musical instruments.
The children used the junk modelling resources to either make a drum, guitar or shaker. We investigated the different sounds they made and how they made a sound by tapping, shaking or strumming.
In DT we have been looking at healthy eating. We each designed our own fruit salads and learnt how to cut them safely for us to eat.
EYFS had a great time investigating what happens to chocolate when it warms up. We added some shredded wheat to the melted chocolate and counted out three little “eggs” to put in our nests.
In Year Four we have been making ‘slingshot’ cars. We built a wooden chassis and launch mechanism and then designed and assembled our own car body. The children have worked so hard and are very proud of their finished products. Now to test them out…….!
As a reward for working so hard this week Year 2 designed and decorated their own pancakes. Well done Year 2, they looked delicious!
Today, Year 4 completed the cladding on their pavilions. It was a tricky job but the final models look great!
Year 4 are at the next stage of designing their pavilions! Today they built and reinforced the structures of their buildings!
In Year 3, we always make sure that we look after ourselves and try to make healthy choices. We loved making our own fruit kebabs as a healthy treat!
