Year 5 took great pride in presenting their DT creations, which encompassed all their learning in our Moving Mechanisms topic, to our visiting engineer, Craig Wilkinson.
Their remit was to invent something strong and stable, that would be useful around the home and that involved using a pneumatic system.
The children made use of their strong Oracy skills as they articulated the purpose of their invention to Craig and the rest of the class, explaining exactly how it should work.
Craig was very impressed by the range of ideas and, even though not all of them worked, the intent and overall effort made by everyone was congratulated.
