Model Making
This half term, Year 4 have been studying The Iron Man by Ted Hughes in English. Since Christmas, they have written diary entries, letters, newspaper reports, recounts, poems and short stories.
In Design and Technology, the children worked in small groups to plan and create their own Iron Man model. They used a variety of recyclable items to build their metal monster and then they painted it.
The children are really pleased with their finished models and Miss Haygarth and Mrs Cooper are very impressed with their work too!
