Design Technology: Year 5 Taster Session

Join the Design Technology: Year 5 Taster Session at Cornwallis Academy for a hands-on introduction to design technology. This practical session invites Year 5 pupils to build and make a model aeroplane using wood and plastics, offering a friendly first experience of making and design in a school workshop setting.

Participants will learn how to laser cut and how to line bend plastics to create the main components of their model plane. The session explains how different materials behave and shows basic making techniques that turn a simple idea into a physical object. The emphasis is on practical skills, creativity and an accessible introduction to the processes used in design and technology.

This taster is ideal for Year 5 children curious about building and making and for families who want a short, practical experience of DT. For full details, available dates and to reserve a place, please visit the event page on Eventbrite.
