Design and empathy went hand-in-hand before the Easter Break as Class 4 took on a sophisticated engineering challenge. The task was to design and build models for fully accessible playgrounds, ensuring that every child—regardless of ability—could join in the fun. Each model required at least one functional moving part, pushing the pupils to apply their knowledge of mechanisms and structural stability to real-world problem-solving.

The project reached a lovely conclusion as our designers turned into teachers, sharing their finished models with the younger pupils across the school. It was wonderful to watch Class 4 explain the mechanics behind their swings, roundabouts, and ramps, while the younger children were fascinated to see the miniature playgrounds in action. 🛠️🎡

From inclusive thinking to creative engineering, the world of design is full of inspiration—and our pupils are making the most of every moving part! 💙
