Year 6 Christmas Joy!

On the 11^th December, Year Six had lots of fun making Christmas cards. They all looked fantastic with beautiful bells on the front and lovely red card behind. All the children enjoyed making them and I am sure our families will also enjoy putting the cards somewhere everyone can see them at home. Our marvellous 'making' skills really shone when we were creating these masterpieces; they looked incredible!  

Furthermore, Year 6 are designing and making more 'Christmasy things,' such as our Design Technology topic, which is to create a super Christmas stocking. We have already designed and planned what our fantastic stockings will look like in our D.T. booklets, and I can assure you that the blueprints all looked great!

We will have to use our sewing skills as the stockings will be made out of felt, silk and cotton and sewed together using running and blanket stitches. The actual making will take place next week and none of us can wait for this festive fun! Whilst the designs are now finished, we are currently working on the instructions, which will help us when it comes to make these awesome stockings next week.

So far during this winter week we have had lots of fun and we know that we will continue to enjoy the rest of it!

Thanks for reading!

Grace, Year 6.
