Lulu's start student teaching

This week Lulu taught us how to make a box out of papers.

These are boxes Lulu made previously.

She showed us what to do, we asked questions then she taught us step by step.

After she has showed us what to do the students asked Lulu...
Kerwin-Why would you use a box so small?
I don't know. For anything that involves a box.

Hayley-How size was the paper for the little box
About the size of a post it.

Ben-Do we have to make one?
Well you have to ask Mrs Wilson that.


Then she helped us make them. These are the instructions she gave us.

You need a square piece of paper. Make sure you keep you corners and folds neat and correct.


Fold the paper in half then rotate and fold in half again. You will get 4 equal square corners. 

Fold each corner down into the middle of the square.

 
 




Fold the opposite side down so they meet in the middle of the box.

Open those flaps and repeat with the other 2 sides.



Open those flaps out too.
 


 
 



Cut along between the two flaps (as shown in the photo), only to the crease mark from the sides being folded.









Open 2 sides of flaps, so it matches the photo.

This is the tricky part...
Fold and tuck the triangles into the creases made on the side next to the triangle.

 


It was great to see lots of people helping others with this part.










Once all the triangles are tucked in, push the points of the triangles into the middle of the box.


 And then hopefully you have made a box.



You can make boxes of different sizes and colours.

It was fun and easy. -Hayley
It's cool to make, but sometimes it can be hard. -Lulu

Thanks Lulu for teaching us something new.
