The F2 scientists have been busy again. This time, deciding on the right material for building the three little pigs a boat. The children thought about what a boat needed to be good at – floating. They then tested the materials to see which floated. They learnt lots of new words and had a great time exploring the materials and investigating them.

The children have been investigating materials again. This time to find out which materials would make a good slide for the Three Little Pigs. Click the link below to take a look at what we found.
F2 have started making their cereal box houses. What amazing results so far!

After going on our local area walk yesterday we were inspired to design our own homes. We think we could build them on the empty plot next door to school. See what you think!

In Design and Technology this term Year 2 are learning about food technology. First, they investigated different sandwiches. They tasted lots of different combinations to decide which was their favourite.
Then they learned about to be safe when handling food. Their focussed practical task was to learn how to slice, peel and grate.
The next day, they designed and made their own sandwich for a Royal afternoon tea party.
They had lots of fun eating their creations during the afternoon!
This week, year 6 have been working on D&T (design and technology). For this term, we have made and evaluated some chocolate truffles ( which everyone enjoyed). We were able to create truffles all on our own following our design specification. We were able to use the chocolate of our choice for the base, which we then added unsalted butter, sponge cake and icing sugar to. Everyone loved their different and unique chocolate truffles. We packaged these in our own designed box that we designed using our computing skills on a 3d net. These looked superb!

Today, Year 5 used their designs and what they had learned in the focused practical task to make their own pair of sandals. They had to cut out their straps and attach them to the soles of their sandals. They then added embellishments, such as sequins, beads and buttons, to decorate their sandals.
In our D&T unit we are designing, making and evaluating our very own sandals.
This afternoon, Year 5 watched a demonstration of how to create a template for the soles of their sandals and then made their own templates. We then watched a demonstration of how to use this template to create the soles of the sandals (using cork), ensuring minimal wastage.
Year 2 have been learning about vehicles in D&T this term. First they investigated the topic by looking at the similarities and differences between different vehicles. They also learned about famous engineers who had invented vehicles. Then they had a focussed practical task were they made a vehicle with wheels.
Then, they designed and made their own moon buggy. We had some very successful designs.
Finally, they evaluated each moon buggy.
