This term, we have been learning about diet and being healthy. We have learnt the food groups and the function of each. We have also designed and analysed different meals.
Following this, we looked at how we get energy from food and also how much sugar each contains. We used sugar cubes to represent this and were shocked at our findings!
Linking this to our History, we have also learnt about what they ate in the Roman Times and have designed our own Roman meal which we will be selling for Mini Chef next week!
This term in DT, we explored a range of materials and decided that plastic was the best material to build a parachute. We designed a parachute, built it and evaluated our design by putting it to the test.
This half term, Year 2 are learning about linkages and levers in our Design Technology lessons. Today we explored how to make a linkage and considered how to improve our prototypes before we making a moving monster toy in the coming weeks!
