Year 1 Design and Technology: Our Shape City

This week, Year 1 began their new Design and Technology unit, which focuses on creating urban landscapes. Pupils learned what a city is made of, from buildings, shops and hospitals to lakes and rivers, and then set about designing their own cityscape using 2D shapes. They had a wonderful time cutting and gluing their cities together, with an extra challenge: no pens or pencils allowed! Every detail had to be created purely from shapes.

Next week, we will take our learning into the third dimension as we begin building a Year 1 3D city together. We can’t wait to see what the children create!
