On Thursday 27 and Friday 28 June, Year 6 were lucky enough to take part in another transition event, as the Design Technology (DT) Department welcomed us.
Firstly, Mr Pieri and Ms Westley delivered a session all about how to remain safe in the DT Lab. Then, we explored what we will need to create our products (a wooden toy with a moving element) and how best to do it. We measured and cut each piece of wood, one at a time, ending up with three pieces, which we had to sand to ensure smoothness. After this, students carefully used the machinery, wearing safety equipment, of course, to drill the holes needed in wood. Finally, we used glue guns to secure the wood together.
All students were really engaged by the lesson and it has made them even more excited for September.
