Class 4 have been researching the ingredients of canned Fruit Salad as part of their Food Technology project. It was fun looking and smelling different brands – but the best activity was eating it! Their next step is to use what they have found out to design their own recipes.
We have begun making our Owl puppets this week using a running stitch to sew the pieces of felt together. Children worked very sensibly with their needle and thread and, despite finding the sewing a little tricky at first, perserved throughout ! Well done Class 5!
Children practised stitching for the first time before making their owl puppets. It took a lot of perseverance and a positive mindset but we did an excellent job in the end!
In DT this term we are going to be designing and creating our own Owl puppets based around our English journey ‘The Owl who is Afraid of the Dark.’ We began today by investigating different types of puppets including glove puppets, finger puppets and rod puppets. We looked at and Read more…
In Class 14, we researched, designed and created our own Christmas pencil toppers in D&T. We used felt and decided which other materials we would individually need. We then evaluated the pencil toppers by discussing we liked about our product and what we would change. We also made our own Read more…
In class 6 we have been exploring puppets before we begin to make our own puppets based on the book The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark. We looked at how the puppets were made and the colours used and discussed which ones were our favourites.
Class 10 made their own robot models in DT. There were inspired by reading Ted Hughes “Iron Man”. They had also been studying electricity in Science and knew all about circuits and switches so it was fun to apply this knowledge to make the robots light up.
This half term, we have been designing and making light-up robots. We used our learning from our Science unit on electricity to create a circuit controlled by a switch, which we then inserted into our robots.
To end our fascinating journey into space, class 12 designed their own unique rockets with a touch of creativity and personality. They were given a range of resources and had to use a range of skills and a lot of perseverance to independently create a rocket of their choice, shape Read more…
Class 4 made paper bag puppets in DT as part of their linked learning investigations into toys from the past. They drew their designs first and then used collage to decorate their final product. The children evaluated their puppets and decided what they liked best about their work and what Read more…
