Primary School DT Workshop

Primary DT Workshop 2026

We are proud of our primary outreach programme, which helps junior students experience a taste of life at Isleworth & Syon. It was a delight to welcome Year 5 boys and girls from Green Dragon primary into school across two sessions. Students learned about the basics of soldering with our DT teachers Mr Elliston and Miss Wanli before building their very own MP3 speaker! Our Year 12 engineering students were on hand throughout to offer their expert assistance - a lovely example of community partnership in action. You can see some feedback below from the primary students, who clearly had an amazing time.

• It was so fun and I can’t wait to show my family. Thank you teachers and the other people that helped me. I learned so much – now I know how to make a speaker.
• Best school trip ever! Can’t wait to learn about DT in high school. Recommend it! Can’t wait to use the speaker.
• This was the funnest, the best school trip ever. It was fun and felt special and awesome to make my own speaker. Whoever is reading this, I definitely RECOMMEND!!!
• Thank you for showing me how to use a composite and solder, it was a nice opportunity to learn this, thank you very much!
• I loved having a soldering iron in my hand and working with wires! I thought it was the best Green Dragon primary school trip of my life so far.
• Today was the best and most fun trip ever! I felt like a scientist, might come to this school when I get in to high school because I love DT.
