This afternoon we wrapped up warm and braved the cold to create a cave painting. The children searched for twigs and other natural materials to make their own paintbrushes before collecting mud and making their paint.

DT Project: Vehicles, by Mr Coxhead
Date: 12th Jan 2017 @ 4:22pm
Over the next 6 weeks or so, Year 6 will be doing DT on a Wednesday afternoon. Our project will be all about creating vehicles. To begin, each child will develop their woodwork skills (using a variety of tools) and create a model aeroplane. They will then learn how motors can be used to things move before designing and making their own motorised toy vehicle.
To start off this week, Year 6 each began making an aeroplane for Superman (who has forgotten how to fly). I expect they will finish these next week!
