Here at De Lacy, we offer Textiles as part of the Technology carousel. Over the course of the 6-7 weeks students will learn creative skills that will be used to create a final project. Textiles is an important inclusion into the Technology carousel as it not only teaches students fundamental skills, it enables students to explore their creativeness whilst developing an appreciation of textiles production globally. Students will complete two projects over the year.

The first project will focus on hand sewing and they will design and manufacture a soft toy under theme of “Punky Puppets”. This project will also develop their appliqué, embroidery and embellishment skills.

The second project will focus more on fabric printing as well as developing their skills using a sewing machine. The theme will be “Nature Cases” and students will design and manufacture a pencil case using the printing skills they have developed.

As part of our curriculum, we ensure that we provide our students the opportunities to broaden their learning through various subject based cultural opportunities.  These vary for each subject but provide an array of activities for both students and families to engage with. These are divided into half term learning opportunities and can be found in the documents below.
