P7 Explore 3D Shapes Nets

14th Jan 2026

Primary 7 have been busy exploring the relationship between 2D nets and 3D solids using Polydron construction kits. This hands-on challenge required pupils to predict, snap together, and fold various geometric tiles to bring shapes like hexagonal prisms and tetrahedrons to life.

By building these models, students deepened their understanding of vertices, edges, and faces. It was fantastic to see such brilliant teamwork and problem-solving in action!
