A wonderful last week has seen Owls being busy and productive.

Design and technology. We have loved making bags. First we looked at lots of different bags and what they were made from and used for. We were then set a design brief to create a bag that could be taken on a journey. Some of us decided that the journey would be a long one so made our bags slightly bigger whilst some of us decided the bag would be useful for a day trip or something like our Pilgrimage last week where we didn’t need too much to carry.

‘DT has been lots of fun, I have enjoyed thinking about the design of my bag and using a running stitch.’

‘I was really excited to use the sewing machine and a bit nervous.’

‘I learnt what a seam allowance is!’

Owls travel to the Tyrol!

Owls travel to the Tyrol! 〰️

To round off our topic on the Tyrol (ask your Owl where it is!) we thought about how the land is used and how farming is similar to our region but also very different due to the physical features of the landscape. Livestock such as cows and goats graze the pastures producing wonderful milk and also meat which we then learnt is used in a lot of Austrian cooking. As we could not quite stretch to a trip to Austria we sampled the cuisine of the Tyrol. It was very tasty!
