Through adding equipment to the department’s ‘Plastic Lab’ this means:
- reduced waste
- educating student’s about recycling
- create free material
- save money
- raise money through creating new products that can be sold at local markets. See the video below for an example:

We have worked hard on developing our D&T curriculum over the past few years. Was great to see our curriculum feature in this excellent book

[D&T @ KHS @KHSDT1]

We are pleased that our KS3 curriculum is now featuring in a book on Technology Education. We have worked hard as a department to create what we feel is a modern, enjoyable, knowledge filled curriculum. Great to see it in words. Available via Brill Publishing

I love experimenting with our shredders and injection moulders. More plastic recycled and saved from landfill

[D&T @ KHS @KHSDT1]

More work in our PlasticsLab today….

[D&T @ KHS @KHSDT1]

Well done to the Plastics Lab and Enterprise Club students who ran the first of two Christmas Decoration Sales at break time today. All decorations and marketing has been made by the very talented pupils 👏

Would any science professionals like to get involved?

[D&T @ KHS @KHSDT1]

We have one space still to fill for our STEM Industry day on January 9th 2025. We would love a Science Professional to talk to our Year 9 students about potential job roles. If you (or anyone you know) would be willing to take part then please get in touch

How great would it be to see every pupil in our cluster make a recycled poppy and place it as part of a larger display?

[D&T @ KHS @KHSDT1]

Today we were proud to place our remembrance statue in reception. The planter and soldier was made by students in Year 9 and our recycled HDPE poppies were made by a range of pupils from different year groups #rememberace

Have got to say that in Wales we are very lucky to have this FREE event to showcase the best/most innovative work, but also as a CPD and networking event

A very busy few days, attending ‘The Big D&T Meet’ in Norwich and then calling by the Design Museum London on the way home. A round trip of 500 miles!! But so worth it, lots of inspiration for September. Thank you for the free tickets @DesignMuseum #designmuseumlondon

[Mr C D&T @MRCMakes]

A fantastic day at the #thebigdandtmeet at the UEA today. Was brilliant to attend some interesting and inspiring talks, as well as meet some cutting edge companies who are helping to drive D&T forward in the UK

[Mr C D&T @MRCMakes]

My pleasure, was great to be involved in some small way with a competition getting students into cup rugby 🏉 👍🏼

[Mr Gardner Rugby @GardnerRugby]

Today, the Captains of Year 7, 8, 9, and 10 visited the @KHSDT1 Department to deliver a thank you gift to @MRCMakes from the @BGSchoolsRU. The gift was in appreciation for crafting trophies for the @BGSchoolsCup and Plate Competition.

A fantastic session this afternoon 👏

Thank you so much to David Williams, former Williams F1 Engineer who came in to talk to the KHS Race Team about his career in engineering and to advise the team on how to build the best formula 24 car possible!
