DT Week - Waistcoats
The children have been very busy this week designing, making and improving their waistcoats. The children were able to follow a design brief to sketch their ideas, they had to make a waistcoat that was suitable for a soft toy and included a button. The children created a template and were able to trace around this to give their waistcoat a shape, then they stitched each piece together carefully.

DT - Making Playground Structures
The Lions have been very excited about their latest DT project! The children designed their own pieces of equipment based on a number of things: the playground had to include something that could spin or swing, something that they could hide under and something that they could climb. They thought carefully about the materials that they wanted to select to make the strongest structures and were so sensible when using a saw, hand drill and glue gun to create their structures.
