DT Moving pictures: Humpty Dumpty

Lesson: Design and technology

Class: Y1 Year: 2021 - 2022

In Autumn term 1, Y1 learned how to make two different mechanisms - levers and sliders. They applied this learning to designing and making their own moving picture book using the beginning, middle and end of the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme. 

The children were very skilled in their marking and cutting skills to make the slits for their mechanisms and could talk about why they had used each one.

To test out their design criteria, Y1 shared their books with some of the children in Early Years - they really enjoyed them!
