Everyone welcome! # Year 2 D.T: Wacky Windmills! ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/windmills.JPG) 23 June 2022 During the summer term in D.T, Year 2 have been learning all about the purpose uses of windmills. We completed some market research to look at the different types of windmills and the materials that are used to make them. We then spent some time designing our own windmills and thinking about the materials that we could use the make them. This week, the class brought their designs to life and made their own windmill's using classroom materials and their own designs. We then evaluated our windmill's and thought about what we might do differently next time, to ensure our bases are strong and sturdy. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/windmills.JPG) [Year 2](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Design Technology](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [Discussions](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/discussions) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/E78A7154-F9A4-472E-A002-3567D51CED36.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-06-22-year-6-watch-matilda-in-the-west-end) Previous ### [Year 6 watch Matilda in the West End ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-06-22-year-6-watch-matilda-in-the-west-end) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/english.JPG)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-06-23-year-2-english-making-predictions) Next ### [Year 2 English: Making predictions! ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-06-23-year-2-english-making-predictions) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
