Year 4 STEM-tastic Morning!
What a brilliant buzz in Year 4 this morning! We were lucky enough to take part in a hands-on STEM workshop run by the Engineering Development Trust (EDT) – and what a challenge it was!
Armed with just straws and a single metre of sticky tape, the children set about building the strongest…
Y6 Design and Technology - Playgrounds
Y6 were faced with a Design and Technology challenge: to design and make their very own playground!
They had to:
- Create five apparatus designs, applying the design criteria to their work.
- Make suitable changes to their work after peer evaluation.
- Make roughly three different…
Y6 Birkenhead Park
A great visit to the historic Birkenhead Park - established in 1847.
It served as great inspiration for our forthcoming 'playground making' project for Design and Technology!
Well done all!
Y4 DT - Inclined Car
This week, in Design Technology, children have followed instructions to create a simple car chassis. They use measuring tapes to measure how far their car travelled down an inclined plane.
Great teamwork shown today by all the children - Well Done!
Year 5's Jack and Jill Pop Up Book
Year 5 have been working hard to create amazing pop-up books based on the classic nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill." Using hinges, they brought the story to life with impressive 3D effects that wowed everyone.

We have used 'running stitches' and, in some cases, 'back stitches' to join the material at the seams.
We loved doing a fashion show and modelling our final products. I'm sure you all agree - they are…
Does it light up?
Year 4 have been exploring electrical circuits. All the children were given different components (wires, cells, bulbs and buzzers) and were asked to create as many different working circuits as possible.
