Forest School
This week in forest school started their session by making fruit kebabs The children used DT skills, such as chopping and peeling, to prepare the fruit for their kebabs. Next, they placed different fruits onto a kebab stick to make their own fruit kebab. Following this, they carried out some tree identification based on their topic of 'plants' in science. The children went around the school grounds identifying the trees that we have using a leaf comparison sheet. After their hot chocolate break, the children were split into two groups. One group of children designed their own plant pot and then planted some seeds. The children could choose between flower seeds or vegetable seeds. The other group of children planted bulbs around the KS2 field. We look forward to seeing them grow next spring! What a wonderful session

DT Week
This week Year One have been making puppets in DT. We began by investigating materials to see which would be the most suitable to make out puppets out of. We then tested different attachment techniques that we could use for out puppets. Then we designed our puppets and listed the materials that we would need to make them. Finally we made our puppets and decorated them! We really enjoyed DT week!
