Design and Technology 

Today in Design and Technology we started to look at what makes toys move - CAMS. 

We looked at a simple mechanism and the features it consists of: Crank Handle, CAM, Axel, Follower and a frame. Before discussing the purpose of these and labelling them. 

Once we completed this, we began to look at the different types of CAMs and the movements we make. Considering which ones we would use for our final outcomes. In pairs, we then began to make and develop one before evaluating it. 

They worked extremely well together in their pairs, enhancing their social development.
