Year 6 homework for half term

Over the half term week we would like you to become creative!

In our topic on WWII we have been talking about the need to ‘make do and mend’.

In today’s world many of us have become a throwaway society which goes totally against this idea.

So, we are asking you to make something new out of something old.

You could:

Use a wooden peg to make a peg doll- sized for a dolls house. You could use old scraps of fabric and or ribbon to make clothing for your doll, wool scraps to make hair etc. (School will provide a suitable peg for this) Maybe you could create something for your peg doll to play with…

 

 Use old cardboard boxes or plastic bottles to make a vehicle which has plastic bottle top wheels.

 Make a frame from cardboard and string to weave a rag rug out of scraps of wool, ribbon or material.

When we went to Hendon we saw examples of these in the room where we had our workshop.

We look forward to seeing your efforts.
