Hello to all the P7A blog readers, it’s Mr Atkinson here! As you will know this year I am doing NCCT for P7A with a focus on developing Crookfurs Enquiry Based Learning approach so I wanted to give you an update of what we have been doing.
It has been exciting start to the year with the children utilising their new Meta Skills of leading, feeling, adapting and initiative in their sustainability design clothing challenge. First we explored the methods of paying for items in today’s society and then the children drew diagrams of the different stages in the manufacturing process. Equipped with this knowledge the pupils then formed teams and have been collaborating excellently to combine a variety of fabrics to produce a unique piece of clothing. To help them with this they created mood boards by using inspiration from their online research and are now in the final stages of their project. The teams have also applied their understanding of persuasion to create advertisement posters for their products and have written scripts describing their items which they will read out during Crookfur’s P7 fashion show.
I would like to express my thanks for everyone who donated clothing and materials to help with this project!
