Year 5/6 - CAM you believe it!

On the 29th January, Year 5 and 6 were excited to welcome Jeremy King, a specialist engineer, to work with them in relation to their Victorians topic. Mr.King showed the children how to make and use a CAM, an old-fashioned mechanism, that was found in many Victorian toys.
The children were very busy gluing, drilling and sawing materials that they had accurately measured, in order to create either a rotational or linear motion for their design of toy.
The children later finished off their designs in class, and are very excited to show everyone the finished results.
Well done, Years 5 and 6!
