  1. 5 minutes of touch typing
  2. This term’s project big picture
  3. Learning journey
    • Look at boxes
    • Nets
    • Researching box styles
    • creating nets
    • Decorating in 40’s style
    • cutting, scoring and gluing box

1 Look at boxes

  • What makes it interesting?
  • Why is it that shape?
  • How many sides? What shapes?
  • Does it have a lid?
  • How does it open?

2 Explore nets

  • Goto Polypad (one of the Mathigon tools)
  • Drag out some 3d solids and unfold them to see their nets. This only shows one net – there are different nets for the same 3d shapes.
  • Create your own nets by dragging out 2d shapes then selecting and folding to make 3d shapes.
  • Do a Google image search for “3d shapes nets”. Copy and paste useful examples to a j2e5 page.

3 Research WW2 boxes

  • Search for example of boxes from WW2 times
  • Copy and paste useful examples to a j2e5 page

4 Creating nets

  • Decide on a box shape
  • in j2e5, create the net with gluing tabs
  • if in doubt, include a tab – you can always cut it off if you don’t need it
  • Make sure shapes are exactly sized and positioned – very small mistakes will mean your net doesn’t fold up.
  • include your name on the page

5 Create box design – draw shapes, write and style text

  1. Look at your research into 19040s boxes
  2. Write the text for the box
    • company, product name, slogan, information….
    • make it realistic (but you may need to make it up)
  3. Choose fonts and colours
  4. Draw graphics
    • background, stripes, shapes, logo
    • You are designing it, so no Google images

Sucess criteria

  • Name on sheet
  • Save as “P2P…..box” or “S2P….box” or “W2P….box” (Pine/Spruce/Willow to print)
  • Get rid of any spare pages – it should be just one page
  • Accurate box net
  • Gluing tabs
  • Product name and company on most sides
  • Adveritsing slogan
  • Information
  • Logo or simple shapes/colours
  • Fonts and colours chosen carefully
  • Net filled in a colour (unless it is white) – not whole page coloured

6 Cut, score, glue final box

  1. Cut out

Finished?

  • Check success criteria carefully
  • Go to iLearn2 login page
  • Login with code on the whiteboard
  • Work through the unit using Google Slides

Autumn Days

Autumn days when the grass is jewelled
And the silk inside a chestnut shell.
Jetplanes meeting in the air to be refuelled.
All these thing I love so well

So I mustn’t forget
No, I mustn’t forget.
To say a great big
Thank You
I mustn’t forget

Clouds that look like familiar faces
And the winters moon with frosted rings.
Smell of bacon as I fasten up my laces
And the song the milkman sings

Whipped-up spray that is rainbow-scattered
And a swallow curving in the sky
Shoes so comfy though they’re worn out and they’re battered
And the taste of apple pie.

Scent of gardens when the rain’s been falling
And a minnow darting down a stream
Picked-up engine that’s been stuttering and stalling
And a win for my home team.
