🤖 GRADE 6 3D ROBOT PROJECT! 🚀

Our Grade 6 learners put their creativity, Maths skills and problem-solving abilities to the test as they designed and built their very own 3D robots! 🤖✨

Using materials such as cardboard and plastic bottles, each learner had to incorporate six different types of 3D objects into their robot designs. 📦🔺🔵

The results were incredible! 🌟 From creative designs to clever construction, our Grade 6s showed off their imagination, teamwork and understanding of 3D shapes.

Well done, Grade 6s! 👏🎉
