YEAR 3
We have been busy making pop-up cards in our Design Technology lessons. At first, we made various prototypes of different pop-up mechanisms. We had to listen and follow instructions carefully. Our cards look amazing. What do you think?
Some children were so inspired, they went home and researched pop-up cards independently!
Making Frames - Woodwork
During the spring term, Year 3 have designed and made their own picture frames. Learning new skills like measuring and sawing wood, they each made a decorative frame for their own photo display. The children were all very sensible when using the tools and enjoyed the designing process, thinking about their intended market.
YEAR 4
The children have been working on making their own Christmas electrical decorations. Having been studying electrical circuits in science, they were able to link their skills to design a circuit to light up their own stained-glass windows. The pupils carefully used craft knives to shape their intricate detailed designs resulting in engaging decorations!
