5G Create Roman CAM Toys

We have been busy getting back into routine upstairs in year 5, so we thought we share with your incredible work we completed in the last week of autumn term. In the last week of term to finish off our work on the Romans we created CAM toys. These toys are made up different parts; a follower, a cam and a handle and a slider. The 'cam' is what gives our toys the up and down movement they have based on the shape. We used round ones, egg shape ones and tear drop ones. We worked in pairs to measure, saw and glue these items into place. We had to think about our follower and had to make sure they could be seen when moving. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all and we look forward to our future creations.
