The team had a great time at the 3 Foot People Festival in Chelmsford this week! If your little ones had their photo taken, or you missed out on joining us this year, have a look at our Facebook and Twitter pages to see how it went!
Design and technology involves learning to plan and make all sorts of different products. In school children can get really hands on with this subject, experimenting with everything from digital media to textiles. This is great for creativity and problem solving skills.
Through play children can freely try out ideas and learn what works, and what doesn't. Construction is one of the most popular types of play and lets children learn how to make a simple, successful structure.
Apps give children the chance to build amazing things they otherwise wouldn't be able to, like rockets and robots, and this can really capture their imaginations. Children can also learn to use the technology, to create videos, music and more.
