1aGenerate ideas forproducts after thinking about who will use them and what they willbe used for, using information from a number of sources, includingICT-based sources

1bDevelop ideas andexplain them clearly, putting together a list of what they wanttheir design to achieve

1cPlan what theyhave to do, suggesting a sequence of actions and alternatives, ifneeded

1dCommunicate designideas in different ways as these develop, bearing in mind aestheticqualities, and the uses and purposes for which the product isintended

Workingwith tools, equipment, materials and components to make qualityproducts

2aSelect appropriatetools and techniques for making their product

2bSuggestalternative ways of making their product, if first attemptsfail

2cExplore thesensory qualities of materials and how to use materials andprocesses

2dMeasure, mark out,cut and shape a range of materials, and assemble, join and combinecomponents and materials accurately

* To understandthat containers for money are designed for different purposes andusers but have common features

* To evaluateproducts and identify criteria that can be used for their owndesigns

* To make labelleddrawings from different views showing specific features

Investigative,Disassembly and Evaluative Activities (IDEAs)

1)With thechildren, carefully examine a collection of money containers, e.g.purses, wallets & belt bags. Focus the childrens attention on theseams and seam allowance, fastenings and the names & number ofparts used in the construction and why they are used, e.g. gusset,strap, hem, etc.

2)Discuss thedifferent fabrics used, how the material is reinforced & theproperties needed in the fabric, e.g. hard-wearing.

3)Discuss differentfastenings e.g. buttons, press studs, hooks and eyes, Velcro,safety pins, lace, buckles, etc. What products are they used on?How do they work? Why is the fastening appropriate for the use? Isthe fastening a feature of the product?

4)Ask the childrenquestions, e.g. Which purse is most suitable for a youngchild/teenager/adult? Which would be the safest to keep your moneyin? Why is it useful to have compartments in a wallet?

5)Children to makeannotated sketches & notes of some of the money containers.

* To design aproduct for a specific purpose

* To appreciatethe aesthetic qualities of a design

* To draw upsimple design specifications

Investigative,Disassembly and Evaluative Activities (IDEAs)

Examine how asimple purse is constructed by taking one apart, showing itscomponent parts. Look carefully at how the parts have beenjoined.

Design andMake Assignment (DMA)

Designand make a money container for themselves or someoneelse

1)Show the childrenexamples of purses, wallets, etc. & explain that their task is todesign & make their own.

2)Discuss thedesign criteria with the class: the money container should

- beattractive & appeal to children

- hold moneysecurely

- have strongseams joined in stitch or with glue.

3)Children tosketch out ideas for purse/wallet designs based on the agreeddesign criteria and include a specification (type of fastenerneeded, material to be used, etc.)

Designsheet

* To know how tosew using a range of different joining techniques & stitches

* To know thatsome joining techniques are stronger/weaker than others

FocusedPractical Tasks (FPTs)

1)Demonstrate &allow the children to practise techniques, e.g. running stitch,back stitch, starting/finishing, etc. Provide a sheet showing howto form the stitches as an aid.

2)Ask the childrento sew two small pieces of fabric together & test which joiningmethod makes the strongest seam.
