follows.

During a recent storm in the Waterfall area, the Sunbeam Pre-School was severely damaged.
When the principal and staff members took stock of what was left, they realised that there
were hardly any toys left for the children to play with. The pre-school is in a very poor
community, so they cannot rely on the parents to donate and sponsor the school.

The principal of Sunbeam Pre-School has approached the principal of Waterfall College for
help. The principal knows that Mrs Ngubane’s Grade 9 technology learners have the
necessary skills and commitment to help the Sunbeam Pre-School.

The Grade 9 learners decided they were going to design and make interesting and special
toys for the pre-school. They also decided that the toys should have some moveable part/s
and that there should be a variety of toys suitable for boys and girls. A gear system would be
used to enable the toys to move.
