Year 3 have been showcasing some of our school values this week in both their creativity and resilience whilst creating photo frames. They needed to consider the purpose of the frame (who was it for and why) and think about how this affected their design. They then needed to think about how they would ensure their frames would be 'free-standing'. They explored a range of paper strengthening techniques to help them conclude which method would be the most effective. Yesterday they evaluated Mrs H and Mrs J's photo frames from their houses, this afternoon they planned and begun creating. We can't wait to showcase the end pieces on Friday - what a wonderful homemade Mother's Day gift idea too ;-)
