Autumn 1 - Fairground Wheel
In the autumn term, Year 2 completed a D.T module which focused on the children designing and constructing a Ferris wheel using everyday materials. To begin with, children were introduced to the concept of a Ferris wheel and learnt key terminology which related to a Ferris wheel. After this, the children drew their own design plans for a Ferris wheel and labelled their diagrams with the new vocabulary they had learnt. The next stage in the building process was to select the appropriate materials that the children would use to construct their model. After this, the children began by first constructing a base before attempting to make their wheel and axis. The final steps were to provide support to the wheel and build pods that decorated the wheel.
Spring - Cooking and Nutrition: A Balanced Diet
As nutritionist, we are discovering the importance of a healthy, balanced diet. We sorted different foods into their food groups, designed a menu using the different food groups. We then had the opportunity to practising cutting, grating, snipping and spreading. Then we needed to respond to a design brief and taste tested foods. With this knowledge we created and evaluated our healthy wraps
