Design and Technology – Trenches

​Look at the wonderful variety of model trenches Year 5 children designed and made during the half term break! They have been displayed in the dinner hall for everyone to admire.  We are very impressed by some of the ingenious ways in which children have designed and made their models: e.g. sandbags sewn from material and filled with couscous or folded and made from a hessian bag; a barbed wire fence made from wire and cotton knots or from tin foil. Some children have painted backgrounds or added photographs.
I think the whole class would agree that this topic has really inspired some beautiful art and design work, as well as a wealth of knowledge!
