Home Sweet Habitat: Year 1's D&T Animal Adventures!

By Cherry Class, in Year 1 - Friday, 25 October 2024

This week, our creative Year 1 children have been hard at work in their Design and Technology lessons, learning all about habitats! To bring their learning to life, each student got the chance to build their own miniature habitat, carefully designed for specific animals. From hot and sandy deserts to the freezing arctic, the class explored the materials and conditions that animals need to thrive.

Working with a variety of materials—such as cardboard, cotton wool and paint the children carefully planned, constructed, and even added finishing touches to make their habitats look as real as possible! Not only did they have fun crafting and building, but they also gained a deeper understanding of the natural world and the importance of protecting these special spaces.
