This morning we have looked closely at lots of pop up books and tried to work out how the mechanisms are created.
First, we learnt how to make a box fold.
Then we tried to make a mouth fold.
Next, we attempted 'The rotator', which involved using a split pin.
The paper spring was fun!
Finally, we learnt how to make a slider....
.....and a lift open flap feature.
Thankyou so much to those of you who kindly brought in a pop up book of your own, and especially to those children who'd tried to make their own over the holidays.
Your child will be making a pop up book with a partner on Thursday afternoon. Each pair has decided on a topic. They may like to try out some techniques at home, or bring in pictures and / or facts to add to their books. If so, please bring anything in on Thursday morning please!
