Year 1 have had a DT day today as part of their Taxi stem project linked to Bright Lights, Big City. First the children worked in groups to investigate a variety of moving vehicles, they then labelled pictures showing their understanding of the vocabulary such as axle and chassis. The children then became mechanics and designed their own London Taxi, they used their plan to begin building, working as a team to measure with a jig, cut dowel with a saw supported by a teacher, adding wheels and extra details. After lunch we tested our taxis on a ramp to see if they worked, we then evaluated our final designs.
