27 Jun Year 5 – DT
This week, Year 5 have been perfecting their carpentry skills and, having already designed a toy based around our book ‘Tadpole’s Promise’, set to work on bringing it to life. Pupils planned how best to use gears to make an effective moving system and how they want their product to move based on the three different types of movement (rotary, oscillating and reciprocating), before carefully measuring, cutting and gluing their pieces together to form the skeleton for their product. Additionally, they created two movable components from card and tissue paper. We will continue to add elements to our product and look forward to sharing the end results once complete.
