Technology - Packaging and Containers

This week we are looking at packaging and containers for technology.  We will be bringing two packets/containers to school  on Monday.  There are some key things we will be ;looking at...
Is all the packaging necessary?
Can the material be reused?
Do you like the packet/container? Why?
The next part will be looking at the writing and pictures on the container.  We will copy the main pictures and writing off our boxes. 
Then we will respond to the following questions...
What colours are used most? Why?
Does the packet/container stand out?
The next thing we will do is open out our packets/containers and look at the nets .  We will then draw the nets. The following questions will need to beanswered.
What important information was on the packets/containers?
Does the packet have tabs?  How is it held together?
THEN THE FUN PART ...We will design our own container to hold popcorn.  We will look at a couple of popcorn packets/packages too.
