Primary Cross Curriculum - Making Bags
This resource from Teachers TV follows Rebecca Higgins and Daniella Mana from Newtown Primary School in Shropshire. The teachers present three great practical lesson ideas around design and technology, all involving making bags.
The first part of the programme shows how children use their knowledge of two dimensional shapes to produce patterns for bags. They utilise CAD software to create the patterns, stretching the most able mathematicians in the class.
Making paper mock ups of the bags before they use their chosen materials allows the children to experiment and gain confidence in this new skill.
The programme goes on to show how the project may be linked to other curriculum areas with children writing an advert for a bag in literacy, and learning the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling products.
