DT

In DT, the children were looking at creating their own predators using a form of pneumatic system. The children were able to create their own choice of predator, as long as they were able to use a balloon integrated into their design to  create movement.

In DT, the children were looking at the construction of neolithic houses.

The students created their houses in groups of 5, developing upon their skill of wood work.

The children used handheld saws, vices, glue and array of natural materials to create their own adaptations.
