Moving Monsters in 3W 🤩

Throughout this half term in DT we have learnt about pneumatics and designed our own moving monsters. The children brought their plans to life using their imagination and creativity . We transformed our cardboard boxes into moving monsters, decorating the boxes with sharp teeth and enormous, piercing eyes. To make our monsters move we used two syringes and a tube assembled precisely into the box to make the mouth open and close. 

Then the real fun began when children followed their plans to build their ‘Moving monsters’
