Children have enjoyed researching and experimenting with world-changing innovations of the past. They also designed their own innovations for the future; following a year group brief. The most creative and imaginative innovations will be entered into a school competition and submitted to the Little Inventors website.

EYFS learned about what an invention is and focused on the invention of
