Textiles and Structures and 3D- Hand Puppets and Pencil Pots.

Oh how time flies when you’re having fun! What a busy term we have ha! The children have been an absolute delight, as we have explored how we can join fabrics together using different tools. The children tried joining using safety pins, glue and staples, then had to make the choice of which was the easiest to do and how effective each was. The children then went on to design a hand puppet, with Christmas just around the corner, we based them on the Nativity Story. The children did a fantastic job!

We then moved onto structures and 3D in Design and Technology. We thought about and discussed what stability means, using our own bodies to explore unstable balances and stable balances. This then led onto the children designing a pencil pot, thinking about how we could make it stable. They all had great fun making these!

Next half term, we will be moving onto Painting and Mixed Media.

Wishing you all a very happy and Holy Christmas

God Bless
