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.
