Greenhouse

Project overview

This project teaches children about structures and frameworks. They make mini-greenhouse prototypes using strengthening, finishing and joining techniques.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy โ€“ Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express โ€“ to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.

*This project is part of the Cornerstones Design and Technology Curriculum and not sold separately.
