If you are looking for a practical project to do with your children, look no further than this short PDF instuction booklet! Ideal as a whole-class DT project, or as a post-SATs challenge, building this geodesic dome requires nothing but a handful of willing children, some newspaper and some tape.

It makes a fabulous display item as well, and will be a real talking point at open mornings, parents evenings, and assemblies.
