Projects

Finished your home learning but still want to do more? Why not start working on the project you planned just before the school closed? Remember, your project can be on any topic that interests you, a sport, a hobby, an historic event, a famous person – the choice is yours! Try to include as much of our curriculum in your project as possible. Can you include some maths, some history, some geography? You could design and build a model related to your topic and include aspects of the D&T curriculum in that way. Make sure your project excites you and inspires you. If it does you will produce something to be proud of, something positive to remind you of these unusual times.
