Design and Technology - Designing a Toy Castle

 In Design and Technology this half term the children are going to design and make their very own toy castle.

This week, the children designed their castle and discussed who would want to play with their castle. 

M.B "I want to make my castle for Year 6 and Year 5."

E.M "My castle is going to be for the Reception children. 

We then spoke about our design criteria and what we must add to our castle. All our castles need a drawbridge with a mechanism, which makes it move up and down. 

The children then decided which other parts of a castle they wanted to add to their designs. 

Well done Year One!
