We are all very proud of our finished pouches. We hope you like them too!

Sewing Pouches
Using a running stitch, Emerald Class began to sew together two pieces of felt to make their pouches. Some of their decorated designs proved a little fiddly but looked brilliant when completed.
Designing Pouches
Emerald Class looked at different pictures we associated with Christmas then used them to design their own money pouch.
Salmon or Pepper Main Course
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.
Egyptian Collars
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.
Moving Toys
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.
Design and Technology
We designed and made our own Christmas cards and spinner toys. The Christmas cards were pipe cleaner trees, decorated with bead baubles and we each wrote a message to our families inside. Our spinner toys were designed so that they had parts of picture on each side and when we pulled the string, it spun to combine the two part pictures, into one complete picture.Â
