Our Learning Journey so far...

2024 - 2025

Autumn Term 2024

In DT we desinged and created our own robin baubles. We learnt how to complete a variety of different sewing techniques from back stitch, blanket stitch and running stitch. We had great fun being able to test our sewing skills when creating the final product.
