We had great fun on Thursday making our own biscuits. The children worked in pairs to measure, mix and combine ingredients before rolling and cutting their brilliant biscuits! Hopefully some of them made it home for families to try!
To get their DT unit off to a sugary start, the children tasted a range of biscuits today. We discussed their smell, appearance, texture and taste.
We also explored the packaging and how products can be designed for specific 'Target audiences'.
Our Science unit this term is Electricity. The children were given the time to explore and share their scientific understanding of the components we had before they were challenged to make and test predictions.
We finished with some digital circuit making on the laptops.
The start of the year is all about rebuilding friendships ans relationships after a long summer apart. Today, the children had to work together to create a 'machine' which accomplished specific jobs such as 'wash and fold a sheet' or 'a dinner making machine'.
We're not sure Dragon's Den will be calling...but the children still had fun!
