This was part of a festival topic we did in year 6 where the children imagined going round the UK to different festivals. In the first two lessons the children plan what they would need to take on a trip and design their own vehicle (DT). They begin in Norwich at the Dragon Festival and then move on to Birmingham for the Sikh New Year festival (Vaisakhi). Then they pop over to India! Then return for the Festival of Speed and the Welsh Music festival.The Smart Boards are detailed and can be followed without a lesson plan. Then they travel to Northern Ireland.
The children really enjoy creating a beautiful symmetrical piece of patch work which can be hung together all year as a lovely colourful display. I am proud of my original idea, inspired by a book on Amish patchwork. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! No sowing involved! I used fabric glue instead! A great project for the autumn term. The Smart board slides show examples of what the patch work piece might look like but the slides and lesson plans take them step by step through creating their own unique piece. There is an overview of the project with learning objectives.
