Week beginning 13th June 2022

While the Year 4’s were away on their residential trip to Folly Farm, the Year 3 enjoyed two days of DT and art. On Thursday we we identified and experimented with the three different classes of lever before before building models of them. We then produced some fantastic pencil drawings of Tower Bridge. We finished by examining levers with linkages and building further models to examine exactly how the worked.

On Friday, we began our DT challenge, designing and producing a picture with a moving part using levers and linkages built from card and split pins. It was a great activity with everyone working extremely hard on their designs. The results were fantastic!
