How can we reinforce packaging to make them stronger?
This week, we have learnt that there are different ways to strentgthen card. We used three methods:
- zigzaging,
- straws,
- more layers of card.
- After we had strengthened our piece of card, we tested it out using a 1kg weight.
Strong enough to hold 1kg?

Will it be strong enough?

Adding a window to a net to make a display box
We have learned that some packaging requires a window so that the product inside can be seen. We were set a task of making a sweetie box to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III which contained a Coronation shapes window. The children were very creative with this idea - we had crown-shaped windows and even a corgi-shaped one!
Making our own nets to construct a 3D Shape
This time, we drew out our nets using 2D shapes. We needed to alter some of the nets to fit precisely.
Shell Structures 2
We are revisiting nets and making 3D shapes this week. Which 2D shapes make a 3D shape? We used a range of different activities and media to produce 3D shapes.
On Purple Mash, we designed our own shell structures, playing around with the outline of the net to make a vehicle.
How many different 3D structures could we make from cocktail sticks and blue tak?
