We followed the whole school sequence of learning for Design Technology in order to design a patterned, malleable decoration.
We used photographs of Christmas Trees and appraised patterned baubles.
We then explored ways to create everyday patterns and then repeating patterns. This supported our vocabulary development.
Then we explore salt dough and clay and ways to create patterns such as pressing, using tools, beads and sequins.
We evaluated our designs and discussed what we liked and how we could improve them.
The decorations took pride of place on our Christmas Tree.
