Hi, everyone.
It is so great to see you.
Thank you for opening up your design and technology lesson today.
My name is Miss Larham, and I'm your design and technology teacher.
We have made it all the way to lesson 10, so this is our final lesson in our textiles unit, so I hope you're really looking forward to finishing off our unit today together, 'cause I certainly am.
So we're going to carry on our learning from last lesson where we were making simple judgments about our puppet.
And today we're going to evaluate how suitable your puppet is for the intended user.
So let's see what you will need for today's lesson.
In this lesson, you will need an exercise book or paper, and a pencil.
Also, don't forget to bring along your puppet.
We definitely need that today.
So if you need to pause the video now, and go and collect everything you need, now's the time to do that, and you can press play when you're ready.
Off you go.
Brilliant! Welcome back and thank you for collecting everything we need for today's lesson.
Did you remember to bring along your puppet? Fantastic.
Let's take a little look at our lesson journey for today.
So first, all together, we're going to start with our intro quiz.
Then we're going to recap our previous lessons, followed by our star words.
Then, we're going to be creating a questionnaire, followed by writing to the zoo.
And finally, all together again, we will do our exit quiz.
Are you ready for the intro quiz? You have been amazing at my intro quizzes for this unit, so let's do our last intro quiz together.
Our intro quiz questions today are going to be about our design criteria, and I think we're starting to do this really confidently, aren't we? So remember, our first design criteria is, you're going to fill in the gaps.
It must fit on the user's.
Fit on the user's.
Tell me.
Hand.
Well done.
It must fit on the user's hand.
Good job.
It needs the appearance of a zoo.
A zoo what? A zoo.
Animal.
Well done.
It needed to look like a zoo animal.
And last of all, it had to be.
Those big grown up words.
What did it have to be? Mmm.
Fff.
What do you think? It had to be.
Mmm.
Fff.
Tell me now, it has to be, movable, well done, and flexible.
Well done.
Amazing intro quiz.
We have had a really busy unit of work, everybody, haven't we? We have designed and made our very own puppet, a zoo animal puppet that could be sold in a zoo gift shop.
So this is what we have done.
We have made our very own puppet.
And last lesson, we started to evaluate our puppet, didn't we? So we thought about those questions to see if we had met all of our design criteria.
It is time for our star words.
Give them a flash.
Give them a flash close to me.
Fantastic.
Let's see what our first star word is, and we're going to do my turn, your turn.
First word.
Criteria.
Criteria.
Well done for joining in.
We know about the word criteria, don't we? We've used it lots of times, but a criteria is that list of things that our puppet needed to have and needed to be able to do.
Next star word.
Feedback.
Feedback.
Well done.
Now, feedback is where we get somebody else's opinion to say whether it was successful or whether they liked it.
Next star word.
Evaluate.
Evaluate.
Well done.
We know about evaluating, don't we? That's where we judge our product, our puppet against that criteria to see if it's done a good job or not.
And finally, questionnaire.
Questionnaire.
Well done.
That was a big word, wasn't it? Now, questionnaire is where we're going to do some research.
We're going to collect some information.
We're going to ask some questions and find out people's answers.
So that's what we're going to do today.
We're going to create a questionnaire to get some feedback from other people about our puppet.
So our first job today is creating a questionnaire, so let's see what we're going to do.
So do you remember what I said a questionnaire was in your star words activity? I wonder if you remember.
A questionnaire is a set of questions created to collect information from other people.
So we're going to be writing our own questionnaire linked to the design criteria.
We're to find out what other people think of our puppet.
Let's just quickly recap that design criteria.
So here's our design criteria.
I want you to join in on the pink words with me.
You ready? It should fit on the user's hand.
Well done.
Well remembered.
It should have the appearance of a zoo animal.
Well done.
Next one.
It should be movable and flexible.
Well done.
We know that really confidently, don't we? Now we need this criteria to help us with our questionnaire, don't we? So using that design criteria, and thinking that we want to know what somebody thinks about our puppet, I wonder what questions we could ask somebody in our house.
What kind of questions could we ask them for them to evaluate our puppet, just like we did last lesson? Pause the video now, have a little think about some questions that we could ask somebody, and then press play when you're ready.
Off you go.
Welcome back.
And well done for having a think about some of the questions that we could ask somebody to evaluate our puppet for us.
I came up with a few ideas.
I wonder if they match the questions you came up with.
We could ask somebody, what do you like about my puppet? So you could ask somebody in your house to tell you what they like.
I wonder if it's the same thing you like.
Does it fit on the user's hand? So you could model your puppet and see if it fits on their hand.
Is it movable and flexible? So you can show off your puppet to the person you're asking this questionnaire to, and they can double check for you, is it movable and is it flexible? You could also ask them, does it look like my chosen animal? So they can have a really good look at it and tell you if it looks like your chosen animal, and they might even be able to tell you why they think it looks like your chosen animal, so some of the things you've added on to show you what animal it is.
And finally, what could I do to improve my puppet? So show you the person in your house your puppet.
Let them have a really good look and let them tell you, "Oh, I found a little thing here you could improve on.
I think you could improve that part." Okay? So what you're going to do now is you're going to open up your worksheet, because I've written out these questionnaire questions for you.
Then what you're going to do is you're going to find somebody in your house and you're going to ask them these questions, and you are going to write down your answer.
Okay? Then press play when you have done that.
Off you go.
Welcome back, and well done, everybody, for completing your questionnaire.
I wonder, who did you ask to complete your questionnaire? I asked my sister, Emma.
She really enjoyed evaluating my puppet.
Who did you ask? Great choice.
I bet they enjoyed completing that questionnaire with you, too, and I bet they absolutely loved your puppet.
Well done, everybody, for getting all of that feedback from somebody in your house.
It's really important, isn't it, to make sure we ask other people what they think of our products, too.
So do you remember, we made our puppet to be able to be sold in a zoo gift shop, didn't we? Do you remember that part? Then what we're going to do to finish off this unit, because we have made those be in a zoo gift shop, we're going to write a little letter to the zoo, telling them all about our amazing puppets.
So I have had a go at writing a letter to my local zoo.
I'm going to read my letter through with you to help you for when it's time to write your own.
So can you see what I've included in my letter? Can you see on the top corner of your screen here, I have written my address, the address of the sender of the letter.
So I've written, "13 Oak Academy Road, Oak Academy, OA13 ACD." So you would write your address in that top corner.
Then underneath, on the other side of the letter, I've written the zoo's address.
So my local zoo is Woburn Safari Park, so you'll need to research your local zoo to find out their address.
So I've written, "Woburn Safari Park, Woburn Park, Bedfordshire, MK43 OTU." And then underneath that, I have written who the letter is to, so the addressee.
So I've written, "Dear Zoo Gift Shop Owners," so that's who the letter is to.
So when you start your letter today, you will have your address in the top corner, the zoo's address on the other side, just underneath, and who it is to underneath.
Let's see the next part of my letter.
So this is the main body of my letter, and I'm going to read it to you.
So I started with an introduction, so introduced who I am and why I am writing to them.
"My name is Miss Larham and I have been tasked by my design and technology teacher at Oak Academy to design and make a zoo animal puppet to be sold at a zoo gift shop." So I introduced to them who I am and why I am writing to them.
The next part, I want you to listen out for me for some of our design and technology star words that we've used this unit, some of our vocabulary.
"I have done lots of research about zoo animals and chose a parrot as my puppet.
I learnt how to make an animal template including the features of my chosen animal.
I also had to add finishing techniques.
Do you like how I used feathers on my parrot? Finally, I learnt how to join my fabric together.
I chose to sew it." Did you hear any of our star words in there? Did you hear template? Did you hear finishing techniques? Did you hear joining fabric? Well done.
Did you also notice how I included a question? "Do you like how I used feathers on my parrot?" You could ask them a question, too.
And then, I have started to close my letter.
"I was wondering if you think my puppet would be appropriate for selling in your gift shop? If you have any feedback for me, I would be happy to hear it." You see how I've closed my letter? I've asked them a question and then a final sentence to say, "Have you got any feedback for me? I would love to hear it." And I have closed with my signature, so I put, "Thank you.
Miss Larham." So we're going to have a go at writing a letter now.
Now, just to recap, let's take a look at the letter as a whole.
Okay, so let's have a think about this whole letter, because it's going to be your turn to write it in a minute.
So remember, you need to include your address, so I've put that at the top here.
So you will need to write your address there.
Then I need to include the zoo's address, so you will need to research your local zoo and their address.
I put that bit there.
Underneath there, you need to write who the letter is to.
So I've put that underneath here.
It says, "Dear Zoo Gift Shop Owners," okay? So that's how you're going to start your letter.
Then you need an introduction, so you need to tell me your name and what do you have been asked to do.
So, "I've been tasked by my design and technology teacher at Oak Academy to design to make a zoo animal puppet to be sold, sold at a zoo gift shop." So you need an introduction to who you are and why you are writing to them.
Then, in the main body of your letter, you will need some design and technology vocabulary for me.
So, "I've done lots of research about different zoo animals and chose the parrot as my puppet.
I learnt how to make an animal template including the features of my chosen animal.
I also had to add finishing techniques.
Do you like how I used feathers on my parents? Finally, I learnt how to join my fabric together.
I chose to sew it." So making sure you include some of that D&T vocab for me.
Also what I want you to do is to include some questions.
So remember, I've got a question here.
"Do like how I used feathers on my parrot?" So you could ask them something to see if they like something in particular about your puppet.
And I've got another question here.
"I was wondering if you think my puppet would be appropriate to sell in your gift shop?" So you might ask that question to the zoo as well.
Then you have got your closing sentence, so the one that finishes off your letter and closes the letter.
So, "If you have any feedback for me, I would be happy to hear it." So you're encouraging the zoo to write back to you, to give them.
For them to give you their feedback.
And finally, you need to write who it is from.
So a nice closing sentence.
I've written, "Thank you," and then my name.
So remember, that you need to include all of these things here in your letter, and set it out like the example you can see here.
Okay? So now it's time to write your letter, and then you're going to press play so we can finish off our lesson together.
Off you go.
Good luck.
Welcome back, everybody, and well done for writing your letter.
I bet you worked really hard on that, didn't you? Fantastic.
Well done.
Now what I thought might be a really good idea is if we posted off this letter to the zoo, so I've got my letter, and inside of here, I have put a photograph of my puppet.
I am then going to put it into an envelope, which I've addressed to the zoo.
So I'm going to pop that in.
It's got my photograph and my letter in there.
Take this off and seal it up.
And then I have put a stamp on my envelope, and later on today, I'm going to go for a walk and put this in my postbox, so the zoo will be able to read my letter and see my puppet and hopefully be able to write back to me, to tell me how much they liked it.
If you're able to, you might like to do that, too.
Don't worry if you can't, though.
To finish off our lesson today, we're going to do an exit quiz all together.
So my first question for you today is in this whole unit of work, what have we designed and made? What did we design and make? Can you remember? Got your answer? Can you tell me now? What have we designed and made? Well done.
We have designed and made a zoo animal puppet to be sold at the zoo gift shop.
So well done if you knew that.
Can you tell me, when we wrote our letter today, we had to try and include some design and technology vocabulary, didn't we? Can you remember any of our design and technology vocabulary that we put in our letter? Can you have a think? Tell me one bit of vocabulary that we included in our letter.
Can you tell me now? Yeah, great choice.
You might have said template, joining techniques, finishing techniques, sewing, all those things you might have mentioned.
Well done on your exit with, everybody.
So that's it.
We have made it to the end of our textiles unit.
Thank you so much for completing this D&T unit with me.
It makes me really, really happy that you were able to join me.
I really hope you enjoyed the unit.
I hope you enjoyed making your very own puppet.
I know I loved making this puppet, and I hope you did, too.
Thank you again, everybody, for all of your hard work, and thank you for joining me.
It's been lovely to work with you.
Hopefully see you all somewhere again soon.
Bye!.
