This term’s projects are:

Marvellous Machines

Project overview

This interest-led project teaches children about the technology that is part of their daily lives and how machines help us. The project gives children the opportunity to build and create marvellous machines. We will be looking into a range of machines big and small, starting with household items i.e. toaster, fridge, blender, kettle. Then we move on to bigger machines such as vehicles, emergency vehicles, and even robots! This project opens up lots of opportunities for our acorns; big and little with experiences planned throughout. 

Puppets and Pop ups

Project overview

This creative project explores puppets and pop up books and gives children the opportunity to make puppets and use them to tell exciting stories. As this project falls into Christmas Time our children will link their project into the Christmas story with an opportunity to create their own Christmas puppet to retell the Story of Christmas.
