Design and Technology: Textiles

Friday 14 June 2024

This half term we are learning all about Design and Technology and we will be sewing our own hand puppet! We are very excited to get going. Yesterday, we started practising our stitching skills by using the sewing cards. We had to thread our needle and tie a knot in the end. This took great resilience and perseverance but everybody did a brilliant job and kept on trying. Once the needle was threaded, we began to sew. We practised  both the overstitch and the running stitch and we were all very proud of ourselves!

Here is the vocabulary we will be learning about in this topic.

Help at home by looking over the vocabulary and discussing each word with your child.
