DT

In DT Year 5 and 6 explored different tastes and categorised food in to their different flavours and found which flavours complimented each other. They then used this knowledge to research and design their own main meal using either peppers or salmon for their star ingredient.

We enjoyed making them with the help of Mrs Buckingham in the kitchen, and very, very much enjoyed tasting and evaluating them.

We have been learning about Egyptian harvest and how they farmed their land. We then designed our own Egyptian collars and appliqued felt shapes on to represent harvest. We had to learn how to do cross stich and running stitch to secure our designs. Afterwards, we evaluated what went well, how our sewing was successful and what we might do differently next time.

After visiting the Circus, Diamond Class created their own moving toy based on a circus theme. They investigated moving toys learning the names of parts like follower, slider, cam and axle. They constructed their own box learning how to join moving parts together and then decorated according to their designs. We think they are great.

We designed and hand stitched our Christmas cards for our families. First, we made our designs then we punched holes in to our card where we needed to sew. The sewing was difficult but the end products we thought were beautiful!
