We have enjoyed researching and designing biscuits in DT but best of all was making our biscuits! We were lucky enough to work with our amazing school cook, Linda, who helped us to measure the ingredients and carefully follow her recipe. They tasted delicious!
We had children in years 3, 4 and 5 take part in our Christmas bauble challenge. Check out some of the brilliant designs!
The children in Year 4 used their knowledge of electrical circuits to design, make and evaluate their own board games. As I’m sure you all agree, the games all look very fun! The children had a great time testing them out.
This week we have been reading the story The Gingerbread Man. The children enjoyed baking some gingerbread men with Mrs Thompson. They were yummy!
This week Y3 were set a DT project linked to our Geography topic ‘The Rainforest’ We really enjoyed designing and then model making our own rainforests- we even included each different layer!
Take a look at our models!
Year 2 have had an action packed few weeks getting into the festive spirit and have been taking part in some fantastic Christmas activities. The children have designed wonderful Christmas cards and beautiful calendars using paint to create a tree for all seasons.
Christmas party day was brilliant, starting off with an online pantomime which was hilarious – the children got involved, singing along to the songs and shouting at the characters! They had a wonderful time dancing and playing party games in the classroom, we have some fabulous dancers.
They enjoyed a visit to Harton Grotto for hot chocolate with marshmallows, a story and some singing. There was even presents under the tree!
Finally we had visit from Tides of Change, the children made their own Christmas tree decoration using twigs and then roasted marshmallows to make delicious s’mores. It’s been a truly wonderful time and we have enjoyed every minute.

Year 1 had a fantastic time designing and making biscuits as part of Design and Technology. They got to taste test a range of biscuits, thinking about the texture and flavour of the biscuits. Children then carried out surveys in the class to find out which one was the favourite. They eventually designed and made their own biscuits.
It was delicious work!
