Year One children transformed themselves in to Santa’s helpers today, using their design and technology skills to create a pop-up gingerbread card! They designed and created their houses, used their joining skills to cut and stick and considered how to improve their cards! Excellent Year One – I am sure Santa would be most impressed! 🎅

Year Five have been learning all about computer aided design (CAD). They are using it during their elves workshop to come complete their task set by Santa. Here are some shots of them applying their CAD skills to assemble their packaging.
Year Three have been hard at work designing and creating toy cars for Snowflake the elf. They have used wheels and axles to make sure the toy cars can move, so Snowflake can get around the school quickly to cause her mischief! A big well done to Year Three who have shown some amazing teamwork…
