Feel very fortunate to teach in a school that has invested in a new pottery kiln for children to design and make pottery. Thank you @Hillyfield_E17 for investing in art and and design and also Darren, @Jude_Pullen & @MaudieMilton for advice in getting the kiln up and running
@Jude_Pullen@Hillyfield_E17@MaudieMilton We’ve got pizzas covered. 👍🍕The school kitchen oven is special and kitchen colleagues even more so. Check out Year 5’s creations from earlier today… l‘Pizza Designers’ project builds on Y4 ‘Pizza Pioneers’ project. #Pizza progression
Children design and make their own #WorldBookDay2023 costumes ✅ Thanks @EllenCounter for idea. Whole school D&T challenge - Provide limited materials (paper plates, brass paper fasteners, border roll...) 1-1 brief coaching convo with each child helped develop ideas. @DTassoc
Our D&T club’s project is beginning to taking shape. @TowerBridge with pneumatic powered bascules. Thanks to Paul Newman from Ivydale Science and Technology for the design inspiration. Uplifting stuff…
It’s a joy to hear children and teachers talking so positively about their day in the D&T classroom. We’re ready for day four with Year 4 tomorrow with the three remaining Y4 classes next week…Onwards! 🪚 #PrimaryDT#DesigandTechnology@DTassoc
🧵What happens when children choose to write about what is important to them?
1/4 Today, chn in Y4 published their persuasive letters. Top quality writing from a community of motivated writers.
@DrBiddulph Beautiful fushias. Love the way that bees pierce the upper part of the flower to access the nectar, avoiding the complex and beautiful outer parts of the flower. Some cracking swathes on the south west coast of Ireland. Hope you are enjoying your Summer break, James.
The biggest thanks to @redgierob - of Literacy Shed fame - for the outstanding twilight inset he provided at our school this evening. Colleagues have been reeling off superlatives! Keep on rocking, Rob. 👏🙌👏
