Year 1 D&T

Wow, what a fantastic morning the children in year 1 have had. The children, with help from their lovely parents, created their own lighthouse pictures. This linked to the DT objective of creating a lever. Whilst planning their lighthouse picture, the children thought about what different materials would be good to use for the different parts of their picture. After reviewing their plan, the children edited their ideas based upon peer feedback. Then, time for the fun part… making their lighthouse picture come to life! With help from lots of parents the children designed their own lever. The lever was a lolly stick which transported a basket from a cottage to a lighthouse. This was all inspired by the book, ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’. Thank you so much to the parents who volunteered to help, the children loved having you in school to help us.
