Today, we had a and T workshop where we created our own working fairground rides. We then had to measure and saw a piece of wood to create the bottom of the ride. We then used the drill to create 2 holes in one of our feet, the base and the turntable. During this time, we were designing our fairground rides and thinking about themes we might like to use for them. Once we had glued the feet on, it was time to transfer our design to our fairground ride. We had to line up our pulley with the hole in the turntable then added dowel and a wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon, we built our circuit using a battery clip and motor. We attached it to our fairground to enable it to spin around. The final part was to design the canopy and add it to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a very busy day and were extremely proud of our finished products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was your favourite part of the day Year 6?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
