Involves groups of students developing their own skills in construction using independent learning. The team challenge is to produce the final piece of presentation work over a series of lessons. During these lessons the teacher or more able students provide demonstrations of construction techniques that assist in the completion of the task. Due to the repetition students consolidate their understanding of key elements and focus on supporting others. The task is linked to the 12 days of Christmas.
