This morning we have designed and made Lego stands for our micro:bits.

We are enjoying using a micro:bit simulation to create an animal monitor. It makes a sound when the temperature gets too hot or cold for the animals we have chosen.

This afternoon we are carrying out research into different animals and their habitats as part of our monitoring devices project in DT week.

Year 1's Design and Make Day

This morning we planned what ingredients we wanted to include in our salad. This afternoon we made our salads, the children were excellent at cutting, grating and peeling the ingredients. Super work Year 2

Our salad creations

DT week - Our topic this term in DT is salads. Tasting salads Today we explored the taste of Caesar, Greek and Waldorf salads. The children then evaluated the salads describing the appearance, smell, flavour, texture and then rated them.

We then focused on the skills part of our DT week. This afternoon, we have been learning the skill of cutting and how to do it safely. This will make sure that when we cut the ingredients of our salads carefully.

Yesterday marked the beginning of our DT. week dedicated to creating delicious smoothies. To kick things off, we engaged in a lively discussion about various fruits and vegetables and then sorted them. This is the start of our investigating.

After that, we had a discussion about the origin of various fruits and vegetables and the fascinating process of their growth.

In the afternoon, we had the opportunity to try various smoothies and complete a chart indicating if they tasted sweet or sour, as well as whether we enjoyed them.

The children have just tasted lots of different fruit and vegetables so they can choose their favourite ones to put in their smoothie.

We are now focusing on our skills. This afternoon, we have been learning the skill of cutting and how to do it safely. This will make sure that when we cut our fruit for our smoothies, we are super safe and our fruit is cut perfectly.

Our next skill was juicing, this was really fun! We even got to taste the juice, it was very sour!
