EYFS

Year 1

Year 1 have been busy designing and making a moving toy. They drew and labelled their design thinking about how their toy would move. The children had to be resilient as cutting and getting the levers to work was quite tricky.

Year 4 were set a challenge. They needed to work in pairs to make a 4 wheeled vehicle which could transport paper clips from side of the table to another. The children chose their own equipment based on the design brief. Lots of evaluating took place at the end and the outcomes were terrific!
