In Design Technology Year 2 have been learning about winding mechanisms.
The children decided to create their own winding mechanism that would have helped put the Great Fire of London out quicker! The children made a chimney with a bucket attached to a winding mechanism at the top. The bucket lowers up and down.
The children had to measure and cut their own wood, which they particularly enjoyed!
I really really enjoyed making the winding mechanisms and cutting the wood.
