Year 2 - Design Technology - Healthy Wraps
Our Year 2 designers have been busy exploring the world of nutrition as they designed and created their very own healthy wraps! After studying the Eatwell Plate, the children gained a fantastic understanding of how a balanced diet—incorporating various food groups—provides our bodies with the different nutrients they need to stay strong and energised. Putting their culinary skills to the test, the students carefully prepared their chosen ingredients by practicing precise cutting, grating, and peeling. Once their vibrant wraps were assembled, the lesson concluded with a thoughtful evaluation, where the children reflected on their flavor combinations and making process. Well done, Year 2, for being such creative and health-conscious chefs!

YEar 6: Design Technology - Shadow Puppets
Year 6 have researched, and designed their own moveable shadow puppets, reflecting a new character to add to the story of the Wizard of Oz. L.O: To create a shadow puppet with moving parts.
Year 3 - Design and Technology - Making A Mock Up Of A Seasonal Tart
Year 3 became bakers-in-training this week! As part of our D.T. project, we created 3D mock-ups of our proposed seasonal tarts. The children did a fantastic job using craft materials to represent different seasonal vegetables and toppings. These models have helped us decide exactly how we want our final, edible tarts to look.
Year 5 DT - Meet the Doodlers!
In this week's lesson, Year 5 became design detectives as we met some amazing doodling machines! We explored how these fantastic devices are built and studied the different mechanisms (the moving parts) they use to create their unique, colourful patterns. We analysed how the clever arrangement of motors, levers, and linkages makes each doodler special, preparing Year 5 to design their own creative, moving invention!
Year 3 - Design Technology - Evaluating Seasonal Foods
This week, Year 3 explored the wonderful world of seasonal food! We acted like food critics and evaluated three fresh ingredients: asparagus, radish, and spring onion. We tasted each food and discussed its texture, smell, and flavour. We then decided which ingredient worked best for a seasonal tart. The children used fantastic descriptive words to explain their choices.

Year 1 - DT - Juicing
Year 1 pupils were busy juicing oranges, lemons, and limes! They worked on important physical development skills, including gross motor skills for squeezing and holding the juicers steady, and fine motor skills for twisting the fruit and manipulating the seeds. They also used their hand-eye coordination and following instructions to complete the tasty task!

Year 1 - Preparing Food Safely
This week we have discussed all things kitchen safety! We discussed how to prepare food safely, how to use equipment safely and why we do this. The children had fun taking turns to cut a variety of food items including bananas, peppers and apples.
Year 2 DT Making Wraps
Our children had a fantastic Design and Technology session where they focused on Making Wraps! They learned about assembling different ingredients, practicing their food preparation skills, and creating their own delicious and healthy wraps.
Year 3 DT - Making A Structure
This week in DT, Year 3 began constructing their own castles! They collected a variety of materials like boxes, egg boxes, and cardboard tubes to build essential castle features such as turrets, towers, and battlements.
Year 2 - DT - Food
Year 2 had the chance to select balanced combinations of ingredients and taste a variety of foods.
Year 1 - D.T. - Creating A Moving Book
Get ready for an egg-cellent adventure! Our Year 1 class has been busy creating and constructing a moving book that tells the classic tale of Humpty Dumpty. Watch as Humpty tumbles and bounces with our amazing moving mechanisms! It's been a cracking good time bringing this story to life.
