They enjoyed using yogurt and fruit to put features on a face, and then they enjoyed eating them! 

What a brilliant buzz in Year 4 this morning! We were lucky enough to take part in a hands-on STEM workshop run by the Engineering Development Trust (EDT) – and what a challenge it was!

Armed with just straws and a single metre of sticky tape, the children set about building the strongest…

Y6 were faced with a Design and Technology challenge: to design and make their very own playground!

They had to:

A great visit to the historic Birkenhead Park - established in 1847.

It served as great inspiration for our forthcoming 'playground making' project for Design and Technology!

Well done all!

This week, in Design Technology, children have followed instructions to create a simple car chassis.  They use measuring tapes to measure how far their car travelled down an inclined plane.

Great teamwork shown today by all the children - Well Done!

Year 5 have been working hard to create amazing pop-up books based on the classic nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill."  Using hinges, they brought the story to life with impressive 3D effects that wowed everyone.
