Types of stitches
As part of their DT project, Year Six are making a stitched Blaydon Race souvenir. To do this, they had to learn different types of stitches. They spent a tangling time learning how to do a running stitch, back stitch and blanket stitch.
Blaydon Race Animation
Year Six have been using an animation piece of software to create an animated snap shot of the Blaydon Race as part of our international topic on local history. They learnt very quickly how precise their movements need to be to make a steady animation.
