DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY - NIGHT LIGHTS

During our DT week, we have been investigating 'Night lights' and how they are made. During this project, we have:

• Learned about the dangers of electricity and explored building a variety of circuits.

• Created a range of designs for a Night light lampshade.

• Chosen a final design and created a 3D model of this design using a range of media.

• Showcased our lampshades to the class using lightbulbs.

YEAR 4 VISIT TO LLANCAIACH FAWR

We have thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Stuarts this term. We have been learning about the Great Fire of London, The Great Plague and The Gunpowder plot. 

A highlight of our topic was our trip to Llancaiach Fawr. We had a wonderful tour of the house, learning about the functions of each room. We made plague bags using, lavender, sage and mint. In the afternoon, we had a medicine workshop. During this workshop we had the opportunity to make lavender soap.
