Moving Monsters

In Design and Technology, our Year 2 children have been exploring levers and linkages, discovering how these simple mechanisms create movement. They designed, made, and evaluated their own moving monsters, demonstrating fantastic creativity, problem-solving, and perseverance throughout the project. We were so impressed with their innovative designs—there are definitely some engineers in the making!

To start the process the children explored levers, linkages and what the word pivot meant.

They then created a moving picture. 

After that they designed and made a moving monster and most importantly evaluated what went well and what they could do even better next time!
