In Design and Technology this term, our Year 3s have been transformed into busy elves, expertly working on a practical textile project: creating their own festive and functional pouches.

This unit has allowed the children to build successfully on the foundational sewing skills they learned in KS1. They have carefully designed their pouches and mastered the running stitch, ensuring they sew with regular-sized stitches and that both ends of the thread are securely knotted. They accurately prepared and cut their fabric using a template, then used a running stitch to join the two pieces. Finally, they creatively decorated their finished pouches using the materials provided.

We are incredibly proud of the hard work from our busy elves and are thrilled that their functional and aesthetic pouches will be showcased and ready for purchase at the upcoming school Christmas  Fayre.
