We have been busy this week selecting the equipment that we will need to make our ‘Eggy’ cars. The children have completed their final designs and we are so close to making them now. The children were introduced to all the tools they could use and they had a go at safely using the equipment. the children were all able to talk about how to keep everyone safe when using tools, such as hand saws. Each group was set the challenge of joining two pieces of dowel together. They first had to cut the dowel to size and then use PVA glue and some card to reinforce the joint. They all created an L-shaped joint. The children were incredibly sensible using the tools and we didn’t lose any fingers!
