P7 Design and Technology

25th Jun 2018

The children have been working very hard today. They have used the fret saw and glue guns very carefully. They were asked to plan and design a marble transporter which will travel down a ramp holding 12 marbles. They have now painted their marble transporter. Thanks to Daniel from Bangor Grammar who helped us out today. Tomorrow we will see which marble transporter travels the furthest distance still holding all of the marbles. Who will win our final challenge?
