TEXTILES
Year
7
Pupils
in Year 7 have the opportunity to make either a puppet,a waist coat
or safety accessory. Each project requires a design brief, some
research, analysis and a plan. Work also needs to be evaluated.
The puppet project links with the Food Technology and product Design
project to design a product for Novelties Ltd., a company that produces
small gifts and souvenirs. One of its clients is Tropical World
at Roundhay Park.
Project
Brief: Design and make a puppet to be sold at the gift shop at
Tropical World
Here
is some feedback from three of last year's Year 7 pupils:
- "In
Year 7 when we did Textiles we made waistcoats and clocks. We
learnt how to dye fabrics, how to use the sewing machines and
to sew free hand! Most of the children who did the projects said
that they enjoyed them both.
- "It
was very exciting and interesting making a waistcoat, especially
as the teacher liked our ideas!"
- "I
thought the clock project was challenging and enjoyable to make!"
The waistcoat project also links with the Food Technology and Product
Design project to design a product based on Africa.
