DT skills from Year 5
Year 5 have been busy in the Grove's DT department again - this time, making personalized pencil boxes. The children loved showcasing their design skills in CAD to create lids for their boxes. There was also much excitement when they got to visit the workshop and wield some tools during the construction process.
