Design Technology

Year 4 have been diving into the world of textiles this term with an exciting and creative design project—making their very own book cosies! Combining practical skills with imagination, pupils have been learning how to plan and design a cosy that will protect and personalise their favourite book.


In this stage of the project, pupils:

  • Developed their own design ideas, thinking carefully about function, aesthetics, and personal style.

  • Created detailed plans!
