Year 9 were unable to finish their automata toy this term. To make sure the learning of mechanisms still took place pupils were asked to create a mechanical toy thats includes mechanisms such as gears, cams and levers. Here are some of the best designs from Miss McCormack’s class

Year 8 put their evaluation and design skills to use and redesigned a games controller, making improvements to the problems they found when evaluating the product. You can see a selection of the excellent work below. Visit our Instagram account for more picture. @Wellington_BT7

Just some of our Year 10 soap dispenser designs. Year 10 were asked to design a soap dispenser that would help encourage young children to wash their hands. We are extremely proud of the work that has been produced! Well done Year 10 #proudteacher #TD #KS3 #design @Wellington_BT7

Year 10 models. Once the designs had been completed pupils were asked to create a model to show their designs. We were sent some excellent models and you scan see some below. Well done Year 10 #TD #topqualitywork #productdesignprocess @Wellington_BT7
