Welcome to Puffins class!
This term our topic has a design technology ‘Juggling balls’. We will be designing and making juggling balls for children, with a focus on the key knowledge:
Staying safe when sewing.
Threading a needle.
Learning a basic running stitch and back stitich.
We will also be looking at the entire design process when designing and making our juggling balls.
Our previous topics have included:
In term 1, a history focus: Ancient Egypt. We found out about life in Ancient Egypt and how historians learn about the past.
In term 2, a DT focus: Light up Christmas cards. We designed and made our own Christmas cards with light up elements.
In term 3, a History focus: WW2. We found out about evacuation and had our trip to the REME museum.
In term 4, a geography focus: Bristol. We found out about key human and physical features of Bristol and where it is.
I am released to fulfil some of my leadership responsibilities on Wednesdays. You can still contact me via ClassDojo on those days and I am often on the gate!
All of our families are joined to our Class Dojo – make sure you keep checking on this for updates on what we’ve been getting up to!
