This term we have been working on designing and making pop-up books for younger children, including a mixture of structures and mechanisms. We used sliders, pivots and folds made from cardboard to produce a range of movements.
First we evaluated existing pop-up books, both professional printed books and previous Year 6 pupils' DT projects. First, they practised making the different mechanisms and observing how they work. Next, the children produced their own storyboards and planned which mechanism would be most suitable on each page. Finally, they created their books using layers and spacers to create a professional finish. Some fantastic, original storybooks were created. Shamrocks class should be so proud! They are true authors and illustrators.
