Y4 D&T

2023/2024

Autumn – In DT this term year 4 have been looking at the topic how homemade food is healthier than mass produced products. Pupils have looked at what ingredients we have used to bake our food and what ingredients are used in products that we buy within the shops. Year 4 have made homemade pizza, bread rolls and soup within their cooking lessons. Pupils were then able to evaluate their food explaining how they made it, relating to the units keywords and discussing what they enjoyed or disliked about what they made.

Spring 1 – In DT this half term we have been looking at textiles. We have learnt about different buckles and buttons that are used on our everyday clothing and how to sew these on to fabric. We have labelled and discussed the different functions fasteners have and have reflected on whether they are useful for certain clothing. We have found there are many advantages and disadvantages of having and using there fasterners on our clothing.

Spring 2 – Year 4 have been exploring different structures looking at shapes and how they can provide stability. We have used a wide range on materials and investigated 3D shapes to help us to collaborate our shapes together to structure a class dome.
