In year 5 the focus for the whole academic year is on Layers. Since the pupils will be taking DT as a more focused subject in year 6 the aim is to show them how working with simple layers can build a 3D form and make something functional. The second project of the year sees them creating downhill racers made out of cut layers of MDF. They not only have to think about the form of their cars, using the research of on-the-road vehicles to guide their designs but also have them looking at the artists involved in the BMW Art Car series to finish their completed downhill racers.
