1B DT

Lesson: Design and technology

The children have looked at a variety of books and cards that have moving parts. They had a discussion based on what it was, who it was for, what it was for, how the parts move and how it moved.
The children then explored using tools such as scissors and a hole punch safely, to assemble, join and combine materials and components together in order for it to move. In this case, the children cut out parts of the scissors, hole punched the middle and combined the parts together using a split pin. Children explored how their scissors were able to move around in a curve and this was called a pivot.
