Fairground Design and Technology

This term in Design and Technology, Class 6 have been working on creating a moving fairground ride. This has been a fun yet challenging project. Class 6 have used their knowledge of circuits which we revised last year and building structures to design and build their own ride. We were challenged to use a circuit, a dc motor, a pulley and a driver in our fairground ride. There were difficulties along the way, which included: ensuring our individual parts were cut to the right size (not easy when we were using thick cardboard); and creating the right distance between the motor and the driver.
