Topic
In Summer 1, our DT topic will be focussed around mechanisms. Our design brief will be: To design and make a page from a moving book to tell part of 'The Gingerbread Man' story.
We will begin by exploring a range of moving books to identify their key features. We will use the ideas that we generate to form the success criteria for our own moving pages.
We will learn what a mechanism is and explore 3 types that are commonly found in moving books: sliders, levers and wheels.
The children will design their moving page; considering what equipment, tools and resources they will need.
Finally, we will complete the design cycle by making and evaluating our product against our success criteria.
