The children in Upper School began a new project focusing on mechanisms today. 
They have been set the challenge of producing a pop-up book for someone in Lower School to enjoy. 

The aim is to try and use lots of different mechanisms in a simple picture story so first we need to learn how to make the different types of pop ups and explore what exciting things we can do with them. 
The photos show the brilliant results of what started off as some very simple folding and cutting of card. 

Next week the children will learn how to make moving parts with split pins and tabs of card and we will start to design the pop-up books.
