CAM mechanisms

Year 5 were seriously fortunate to have two great D&T teachers from Telford Langley in to help create wooden CAM toys. It was a complicated process, with lots of components and new skills but the children rose to the challenge.

More cooking!

What a great job this lot have done! They have created a super speedy and healthy recipe with secret veg too!
