Today the focus for our D&T lesson was to find out about mechanical systems-in particular, levers and pulleys. The Upper School children watched short videos about these systems and then had a go at making some themselves. Spencer, Eddie and Harry used the K’NEX to build a seesaw lever model whilst the rest of the class made a simple pulley. Some of the children also made more complex pulleys and a stand for their pulley to work on. 
Next week we will learn about gears and have a go at making some ourselves.
