Now, it may have been the last day of school before Christmas holidays started and we may have been having a Christmas party in the afternoon, but neither of those things stopped us from doing some work in the morning! Our DT topic for this half term was Dips and Dippers and after exploring ready-made dips we had come up with some dip recipes of our own. This morning we got a chance to make the dips ready to taste at our Christmas party. Below are just some of the photos showing us cutting, measuring and mixing our ingredients - the classroom was full of lovely smells! Here are some of the finished dips. They were very critical of their own dips - one of the design criteria was that it had to be 'dippable' (we needed to be able to dip something in it and for the dip to stick to the dipper), 1 group noticed quite quickly that their dip didn't do that, so if they were to make it again have decided that the dip needs to be thicker.

We finished our work on the book Pebble in my Pocket today by decorating a pebble with one thing from the book. Here are just a few examples of the fantastic job the children did with this task.
Today the children made 3D shapes using a range of different materials including clay and straws. Whilst making them there were some great discussion about the vertices and edges that each of the shapes had - the clay and straws was really good at showing this as we found out that the clay represented the vertices and the straws represented the edges! |
