Circuits in Action

This was our first joint project with Thomas Becket Secondary School, where staff shared expertise with one another and with our children.  Our children had been working in Science, learning how to make simple circuits. This project enabled the children to design and make models into which their circuits could be fitted. Both schools were involved in the planning and development of this project, which was a lot of fun.

 Throughout both Key Stages children are learning skills in D.T. in line with Q.C.A. requirements.

This was another exciting joint project with N.S.B. (Northampton School for Boys).

This project was linked to Unit 3D of Q.C.A. Scheme of Work for D.T. Once again this project was linked to I.C.T. using skills. Both schools worked together to plan the project using once again the Computerised lathe and this time a heat machine to bend the finished acrylic frames. The Yr.3 children involved also learned to make wooden jinx frames and then they compared the two processes. We opened our school to the public once again during ‘National Science Week’.
