Year 3 began their ‘Shell structures’ DT project. Over the course of the half term, we will be designing and creating our very own packaging to hold an Easter crispie cake. We will also be writing persuasive adverts for our cakes in our English lessons.
We began by looking at a variety of different packaging and thinking about what information is held on different types of packaging. This will help us to understand what information must be included on our own packaging.
We also looked at how packaging is put together. We carefully opened a range of different boxes to look at the nets. Some of us thought that the boxes were made of multiple pieces of card and not just one piece!
We also had the chance to use nets to make our own boxes of different shapes and sizes.
