DT Project

Our DT project for this half term is to design and make our own moving picture book. We have researched a range of different picture books, looking at the mechanisms used, the font styles and illustrations. We looked at the main mechanisms used; levers, linkages, pivots and rotate.

We had lots of fun experimenting with the different types of mechanisms and attempted to create some of our own.
