Year 6

Year 6 will develop their knowledge and understanding of using a computer to produce 3D models. They will initially familiarise themselves with working in a 3D space, moving, resizing, and duplicating objects. They will then create hollow objects using placeholders and combine multiple objects to create a model of a desk tidy. Finally, year 6 will examine the benefits of grouping and ungrouping 3D objects, then go on to plan, develop, and evaluate their own 3D model of a building.

Lesson 1:

Year 6 will be introduced to the concept of 3D modelling by creating a range of 3D shapes that they select and move. They also examine shapes from a variety of views within the 3D space.

Learning objectives

To recognise that you can work in three dimensions on a computer

I can add 3D shapes to a project
I can view 3D shapes from different perspectives
I can move 3D shapes relative to one another

Lesson 2: To identify that digital 3D objects can be modified

Lesson 3: To recognise that objects can be combined in a 3D model

Year 6 followed Tinkercad tutorials to create 3D designs. They started simply, then challenged themselves. i

Learning objectives:

● I can resize an object in three dimensions

● I can lift/lower 3D objects

● I can recolour a 3D object

● I can rotate objects in three dimensions

● I can duplicate 3D objects

● I can group 3D objects

Lesson 4: To recognise that objects can be combined in a 3D model

To create a 3D model for a given purpose

● I can accurately size 3D objects

● I can show that placeholders can create holes in 3D objects

● I can combine a number of 3D objects

Kenzo was able to use; 3D shapes, place holders for making holes, duplication, and resizing to create his desk-tidy design.

Aleena thought about her design. She was able to reshape and resize the model to create her desired model. Can you see how she created the holes in her cylinders?
