Reply To: Year 6 (Grade 5) Interdisciplinary Signature Work Inquiry @ Blanchelande College
Art & DT
Art and DT has been one of the highlights of the inquiry for me – the students have produced a wide range of beautiful covers and are so proud of what they have made. The Art teacher sourced some thin neoprene for the project and, because it is stretchy it grips the bottle really well making the covers practical and usable – a really authentic product. I will try to get permission to post some pictures of the finished articles at some point. I made this design brief sheet, which will form part of the CREST submission, to help them to get started and attended the lessons regularly to support the teacher (Word version, PDF version).
The teacher is so pleased with their work that she intends to enter it in the Guernsey Eisteddfod, and the covers will also feature in our Signature Work exhibition evening next term. The students are just very excited about being able to use the covers they have made on their own water bottles!
