Year 2 Birch- Making our Moving Vehicles!

🚙✨ Year 2 Get Moving with Their Amazing Vehicle Designs! ✨🛠️
This week, Year 2 have been busy engineers in the making as they created their very own moving vehicles in Design Technology! 🧰🎨
The children began by exploring different types of wheels and axles, learning how real vehicles move and what helps them travel smoothly. 🛞🔍 They sketched ideas, planned their designs, and thought carefully about which materials would be strongest and most effective. 💡📐
Once their plans were ready, it was time to get building! 🛠️
With cardboard boxes, dowels, bottle tops, tape, and plenty of imagination, the classroom quickly transformed into a buzzing workshop. The children worked brilliantly — measuring, cutting, attaching wheels, and testing how well their vehicles rolled. 🚗💨
There were racing cars, buses, monster trucks, and even a few creative inventions we’ve never seen before! 🚕🚚🚜
The pride on their faces when their vehicles moved for the first time was priceless. 😄👏
A huge well done to all of Year 2 for their brilliant teamwork, resilience, and creativity throughout this project. 🌟
We are so proud of the skills they are developing as designers and makers! 🧩✨
Keep an eye out — you may see some of our future engineers on the roads one day! 🚗❤️
