Base 1 3D Collages

Base 1 have been making 3D collages of natural disasters which we have been looking at in our Topic work. There were some brilliant pieces of art created. A big thank you to David who brought in most of the recycled bits and pieces for our collages and that’s why he was our Star of the Week.

Lewis and Jack had the following problem to solve. How would you solve the problem?

First step ,you need to get six straws each the same length. Cut two of them in half.
You now have eight straws , four long and four short arrange your eight straws to make 3 squares, all the same size.

Step 2 use the trial and error method to make the first square.
