Year 4 have been making congratulations cards in DT! The cards were to say well done at Annabelle who won our class vote for class leader during our lessons on democracy in our Law and Order topic ! We learnt that a lever is a mechanism to create movement, and then we made a small practise lever. We then designed our own congratulations cards with a moving part. Then, we used our new skills to create a larger lever in our cards to create moving rainbows, stars, moons and planes etc. The children’s cards were really effective and they really enjoyed making them.

In Year 1’s Dimensions topic this term – Happily Ever After – Class 4 have been tasked with some creative challenges. To make a clay pot for Cinderella and to design and make a tiny bag for a fairy. The children are working hard and developing personal skills of resilience and perseverance with these tricky challenges.
