In DT today, we investigated some more pop up mechanisms to help us with our own pop up book designs. The first one we tried was a lift the flap mechanism and the second was a rotator mechanism. The children got to try out using a pair of compasses to make the rotator flap which was really tricky but rewarding when they completed their prototype. 
As part of our English lessons this week we will plan and write simple fairy tales to go with our pop up designs.
