Year 6 DT
Year 6 have completed their festive sausage rolls and they looked absolutely amazing. They made sure that they contained popular festive ingredients that complemented each other, and I’m sure they will taste as good as they look!
Year 6 DT
Year 6 proud of their finished products. What wonderful and unique festive savoury snacks!
Year 4 - Christmas Cards
Year 4 have been creating Christmas cards this week, and they’ve gone for a bit of humour. Look out for the Christmas cracker-style jokes coming home in school bags.
D.T- Year 5- Christmas themed cushions
This term for our design and technology unit, the year 5 elves have been busy making Christmas themed cushions. Prior to making the cushions, the children have carefully planned their cushions. They have learnt how to create button fasteners, button whole stitch, envelope fold, hidden stitch, running stitch, zig zag stitch, over stitch, and stitch embellish to give that wow factor. They have also made sure that the cushions are functional and aesthetic. They have also evaluated their finished products by answering a series of questions. We are super proud of the dedication and enthusiasm that the children have shown throughout the planning and making of these products. We can't wait to showcase our products at our Christmas Fair.
Year 4 DT - Seasonal Stockings - Part 2
Wowsers- we have had such a productive morning in Year 4 finishing off our ‘ Seasonal Stockings’ . The children have worked so hard developing their different types of stitches. We also managed to embellish them with buttons, ribbon and felt. We can’t wait to show the parents and carers at our Christmas Fair!

Reception - Making Reindeer Baubles
This week we have made reindeer baubles to sell at our Christmas Fair. The children used their fingerprint for the nose, stuck on googly eyes and made their own antlers out of pipe cleaners. The children really enjoyed making them.
Year 6 DT
Year 6 have been analysing different ingredients that they may use in their festive sausage rolls. The children noticed, that when the ingredients are isolated, they may not taste entirely satisfying. However, after watching a video of a chef in action (Jamie Oliver), they noticed that some of these ingredients may complement each other nicely.
Year 6 DT
The final step before year 6 make their DT project was to visualise how they think it will look. They designed their product by using a blown up diagram in which it reveals the individual ingredients that the sausage roll will contain.
Reception Reindeer Food
Reception have been making some reindeer food for our Christmas fair. They used the cups to pour the reindeer food into the bags. We talked about how we can leave the reindeer food out on Christmas Eve ready for Santa and all the reindeers.
Design and Technology - Seasonal Stockings
Our Seasonal Stockings are coming along nicely. This week we have been embellishing our stockings, looking at aesthetics and design. The children have been practicing their running stitch and back stitch. We can’t wait to move onto put them altogether and see the finished product at the Christmas Fair.
Year 6 DT
Today, in DT, year 6 have been researching savoury snacks to explore which ingredients are quite popular and which ingredients complement each other.
