Year 2's DT day

Today in Year 2 we have been building castles to finish off our history and science topics. We used our history work on castles and our science work on materials to create models of our ideal Norman castle.

We had a fantastic time and made a fantastic mess, but our castles look great! Some of them have working drawbridges which we made ourselves, either using a string pulley system or a winding system with wooden dowels and string. Miss Derby and Miss Waterfield were so impressed!

Thank you to all of the parents who contributed any spare "junk" you had at home. It made a huge difference to the children's work and we're very grateful for your generosity.

Well done, Year 2, for a fantastic first half term. We've had loads of fun and worked very hard!
