The children create a night light based upon their own design, incorporating both their practical skills and creative flair, whilst demonstrating and challenging their technological ability, linked to the science theme of electricity.

The project links with literacy work focusing on instructional texts, and also available for download are a Creative Curriculum planning poster and an article on D&T and literacy.
