🎄 Year 7 Design & Technology students have been busy creating their own advent calendars from scratch! Using the laser cutter, they crafted unique chocolate shapes, then used the vacuum former to manufacture trays for their chocolates. Finally, they added a personalised touch by using computer-aided design (CAD) to create custom front covers, with the laser cutter cutting the windows for each day. The final assembly was a fun and creative process, in plenty of time ahead of the festive season! 🎅🍫 Amazing work, Year 7! #DesignAndTechnology #CreativityInAction #STEM #AdventCalendar
Rossi and Hannah finished sewing their personalised napkin in Sewing Club. They learnt how to thread a needle, tie a knot, cast off, running stitch and how to fold and sew a hem.
Last week in Forest School, Year 6 started to carve 3D pumpkins with some cherry wood, freshly cut that morning by our groundsman. We also made some more garlic dough balls and this time we didn't burn them. The weather was good, the hot chocolate was good and the garlic dough balls were GOOD!
Reception took a trip to Tesco to buy the ingredients and then shared them with Little Lions in order for everyone to make some hedgehog bread rolls. This tied in with our learning about autumn and animals that hibernate. The children loved kneading the dough and using scissors to snip the spikes into the top of the hedgehogs and were thrilled to each take one home to show their grown-ups.
Harvest Festival never fails to deliver at Shoreham College. Last week the Junior pupils dazzled with more wonderful artwork, beautiful poetry and truly mind-blowing vegetable heads; as well as donating generously to the Emmaus Centre.
The Senior school also had a collection that was gratefully received by ‘Off the Fence”.
