Lionel Primary School
Working together to provide an educational environment that inspires, challenges and nurtures each child.
As part of our D.T. topic for Spring Term, we are experimenting with different CAM mechanisms to help us design and plan our own moving toys with CAM mechanisms.
As part of Lionel Primary School's partnership program 'Growing Our Future' with Gunnersbury Park, we were tasked with creating a dead hedge to form a barrier of protection for woodland. Dead hedges are piles of branches and twigs arranged to form a barrier which are increasingly used as a way to dispose of the material that arises from thinning or clearing operations in woodlands. They are environmentally friendly as they encourage the use of unused materials and they are effective as protecting wild flora and fauna.
