Pros and Cons of Whole and Processed Food
This afternoon Year 5 & 6 came together to learn about the pros and cons of whole and processed food. They then sampled a home made soup and a processed one. The home made one surprised everyone by being the most popular so everyone worked together to make some more and practised their slicing and dicing skills at the same time. The second batch was just as delicious and now the whole phase has been challenged to design packaging to promote this new soup “Mr Hanley’s Farm Soup” so that year 3 and 4 children want to eat it!

Investigating Cams
Design and technology in Wheal Plenty. Investigating cams (linked to science, forces) whilst using the school’s laser cutter through the Xtool programme.
Our First Session Using the New Laser Cutter
Today Wheal Fortune had ago at using the brand new laser cutter which the school bought using a donation of £1000, which was kindly given to Treleigh School by Watson Marlow in Falmouth. All the children were so excited to be the first to use it in the school and to experiment what they were able to make with it and use it for. They were taught how to use it safely and why using the correct PPE was of great importance.
The children decided to incorporate using the laser cutter, when making 'Fathers Day Cards'.
This will certainly help the children when they move onto secondary school with Design Technology and Art. They will have had a head start on understanding how the software works with the laser cutter and how to program it to design their own projects.
A big thank you to Watson Marlow for making this all possible!
