Year 3: Spent a number of weeks designing, making and building their own kites, culminating in a kite-flying afternoon on the field. An expert was invited to demonstrate some of his own stunt kites and gave some valuable tips on how to fly them. The children were overjoyed to find that their own kites flew well and that their hard work had paid off!

Year 2: Have been enjoying designing and making models from the storybook "The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch". One challenge that particularly fuelled their imagination was to design a working boat model to get the Lighthouse Keeper from his cottage to the lighthouse. The children used sails and simple motors to power their boats, and most reached their target.

Year 1: Have been studying the topic Houses and Homes. As part of their DT project they had to design and build their own home. The children looked in detail at different types of houses and their component parts. They even investigated ways to make their structures more stable and found that the arrangements of bricks plays a large role in this. The final designs were very colourful and imaginative.
