Year 1 Design and Technology: Pivots

November 14, 2014
Year 1 have been busy in Design and Technology this term making moving animals. Linked closely with their Science topic, the children have been displaying their cutting and construction skills to make parts of creatures which can pivot. Much fun was had by all using split pins to attach the parts together and then playing to see how their project moved.

“We made pictures move with pivots”

“We made pivots to make the frog’s legs move, it’s fun.”
