Towers, Tunnels and Turrets

Project overview

Use Towers, Tunnels and Turrets, our pre-planned Year 2 design and technology project, to teach children about design, structures and materials. This project develops children’s knowledge of how to successfully design and build model bridges and buildings.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogyEngage, Develop, Innovate, Express – 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.
