Mrs Pape/Mrs Peters - Year 3 - 2020/21
Activity Day 14.7.2021
Design and technology project 1.7.21: Last week we learned how to make a pneumatic system. This week we designed and created moving monsters. At least one part of our monster had to move, for example a mouth that opened, a tail that moved or an eye that bulged out. We created pneumatic systems to make our monsters move.
