This term, Year 3 have enthusiastically begun their Design and Technology unit on textiles. The children started by revisiting and practising their existing skills, including threading a needle, cutting fabric safely and accurately, and sewing using a running stitch.
It was wonderful to see their growing confidence and independence as they refreshed these important techniques. Building on this prior knowledge, the class was introduced to a new sewing skill: cross stitch. The pupils showed great focus and perseverance as they learnt how to create neat, even stitches to form patterns. Many children have already begun applying their new skills to creative projects, and some have started working on appliqué, exploring how to attach fabric shapes to a base material.
We are very proud of the effort and concentration shown across the year group, and we look forward to seeing their finished textile pieces in the coming weeks!
