Discuss importance of quality during making and that adapting or changing designs is important so quality is achieved. Continue with making of hats. Spot dems where required. Discuss work completed so far around table in relation to quality control checks. Write up a list of all practical work completed so far and explain any problems they have encountered or changes they have had to make. E.g. cutting out fabric I had to swap scissors to use smaller ones that were easier to cut with. Fleece squares Individual work, Q&A, teacher assessment of design ideas.
