What has been happening in Design Technology lessons this year at Westerhope Primary School?
Year 2 loved having a Design and Technology Day! We used resources sent from Tech Tom to make a moving vehicle. The children enjoyed designing their sails and testing how fast they travelled.
Year 2 have made their own owl finger puppet after reading The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark. We were really impressed by their sewing skills!
Our Reception children have been exploring different foods including pumpkins!

Year 1 know all about making healthy food choices.
Year 2 have made hedgehog houses and pop up books.
Our pupils have been thinking about food technology and the way we combine flavours to make healthy, nutritious meals. A chef from Chartwell’s came into school with the ‘On Your Marks’ cooking challenge. The children were invited to consider what makes a healthy meal then to prepare and taste the final dishes. Of course we had a bit of fun with timing of the cooking and the voting afterwards. They might try the recipes at home with their family.
