EYFS
Autumn 1
We have been using the water stem outside to work on our engineering skills. We have been joining different pipes together to make the water flow. We watched the water move and had a competition to see which pipes moved it the quickest.
During Autumn term our engineering links to our story to tell, The Gingerbread Man. The children will be experimenting with joining materials and making a house for the gingerbread man.
The children will be designing and making a boat or a bridge, for the gingerbread man to cross the river.
Spring 1
The Queen has lost her hat! As engineers we will visit the STEAM hub to evaluate hats, design and make her a new one. We will look at different designs and processes to help us make different hats.
We tried on and evaluated different types of hats
We went to the STEAM hub to design and create a new hat for the Queen
Look at our amazing finished products
Using our engineering skills and combining materials in the continuous provision
We visited the supermarket to buy ingredients to make a Chinese stir fry to celebrate Chinese New Year
Using our engineering skills in the classroom
As engineers we have been evaluating shakers, exploring a variety of containers and things that can go in the
containers and the sounds they make. We looked at different ways of fastening the containers together and used all of these skill to design and make our own shaker.
