Making a Rectangular Prism

My Reflection :

I was learning about making prisms  out of paper. 

First I had to draw a net with 4 rectangles and 2 squares.  Mrs D helped me to cut out to make sure that the sides were straight. Next I had to fold the tabs and sides so there are sharp creases. It was tricky to decide what the prism would look like and how to draw the net so that I could make a prism.I would like to learn how to make a pyramid.
