Year 1

Year 1 have made fruit skewers as part of their DT topic. The children focused on their cutting skills and how to create different patterns on their skewers.

Year 2

In their English topic, Year 2 have been learning about the story, Stone Soup. To further their learning, Year 2 have helped to prepare and cook a vegetable soup in their DT lesson.

Year 3

As part of their topic, The Romans, Year 3 made Roman bread in DT. It just so happened to be the same day, as crazy hair day!!

Year 4

In DT, Year 4 have learnt how to do a back stitch, running stitch and also tried oversewing, in preparation for designing and making Stone Age Tunics. They even added applique to their final products. Well done Year 4!

Year 5
Year 5 have been exploring strong and weaker shapes. They’ve then used straws to make a square, triangle, arch and a square with a diagonal support and then applied weight to each shape. They then recorded their results to discuss what happened to each shape when force was applied, making a link with why engineers use certain shapes to strengthen bridges.
