Year 5 – DT Cams
For Design and Technology, the children have explored moving toys and their mechanisms. We focussed on cams and their movement. We then researched, designed and made our own moving toys.
We needed to think about health and safety – especially when using the saw to cut the wood.
All year 5 worked amazingly well and the final products were fantastic!
Well done Year 5.
