# Design and Technology in Year 5

  ![Image of Design and Technology in Year 5](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/blog/IMG_6078.jpeg)  11 February 2025   [Mrs Newby](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/author/vnewby)   [Year 5](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/category/year-5)

 As part of their design and technology topic year 5 were tasked with the job of designing a safety armband. It had to be clearly seen in the day and at night. It must be easy to attach over school uniform and have a fastening. It needed to stay on securely while walking, cycling or scooting and draw attention to the wearer. It must also be weatherproof against wind and rain. They used fluorescent and reflective materials to create their product and fastened it using Velcro.
