Year 4 - Pop-Up Books

Year 4 have been working hard in their Design Technology lessons creating their very own pop-up books. They began the topic by bringing in their own books from home and sharing them. They looked at them carefully, investigating all the different pop-up mechanisms before making their own mechanisms. After that, they designed their own book and planned what type of mechanisms they would use. They then created their books before evaluating their finished product and worked with a peer to evaluate their book also.
