Design and make a felt puppet.

Moving Monsters Y3

Children made monsters out of junk and used a pneumatic system (syringes/balloon pumps/tubing/balloons) to make one or two parts move. We then displayed the finished designs on the wall using picture hooks and shoe boxes. Also on the display are examples of childrens design ideas, methods, evaluations and procedural text.

Containers (not just money!)

The children brought in all types of containers to evluate and designed a container for a specific purpose. anging from a make-up bag for mum to a PSP holder..

Moving toys (cams and followers)

The children designed their own moving toys, having studied various mechanisms, and these were then displayed for all to see. The font used for the display lettering was 'jokerman' which makes the circular letters look like cogs.

Moving Toys

This was a display of the design cycle to show the children’s work on the topic of Moving Toys.  During this project, pupils formed companies to design and produce the best ‘prototype’ moving toy for a big toy distributor.

Controllable Vehicles

The children designed their own Dr. Who alien, having studied gears using Lego.
