In our DT lesson last week, we learnt how to construct 3D shapes in order to help us to construct a castle. We learnt that a net is what a 3D shape would look like if it were opened out flat. We constructed a range of 3D geometric shapes using a net by:
- -Cutting along the bold lines.
- -Folding along the dotted lines.
- -Keeping the tabs the correct size.
- -Making crisply folded edges.
- -Constructing the net using glue to make a geometric shape.
- We then joined some of the shapes we made and constructed a paper castle.
