Deer Delights!

As part of our Year 4 experiences, the children have spent some time this week, putting their Design and Technology skills to the test in a fantastic wildlife project. After researching what ingredients are safe and nutritious for deer, the pupils worked collaboratively to create special “deer blocks” using a mix of fruits and vegetables. Drawing on their DT learning from Year 3, the children confidently used the bridge hold technique to safely chop the ingredients with care and precision before using their grating skills to slice the ingredients, finally mixing everything together to make the blocks. 

This hands-on activity not only strengthened their practical food preparation skills but also deepened their understanding of local wildlife needs and responsible environmental care. The deer blocks will be donated to our local Deer Aid Society, who can ensure they are distributed safely and appropriately to support the health of local deer populations.
