Paper Construction

Students in all levels have started learning paper construction techniques and skills. We have spent the first two weeks of term discussing different types of papers and their everyday uses, various things we can do with paper (cut, stick, fold, scrunch), as well as learning a range of decorative paper techniques.

Last week, students in Prep learned how to make a crocodile using a 'fan-fold' paper technique for its body. This week we will explore how to make paper curls.

Students in grades one and two have explored their skills with paper, constructing 3D shapes, and learning how to create fan-folds, paper curls, as well as different joining techniques. Students created skill-based abstract sculptures to demonstrate their learning.

Students in grade three were given a bit more of a challenge, and were instructed to use their knowledge and skills to create a paper bird, using cylinders and cones as starting points.

We are seeing some fantastic results so early in the term!
