Lesson video

Hi, everybody, it is so great to see you.

How are you today? That's great to hear.

Welcome to today's lesson, your design and technology lesson.

My name is Miss Larham, and I'm going to be your design and technology teacher for today.

So let's get started 'cause I'm really excited about today's lesson.

I hope you are too.

So this is lesson four in our design and technology journey.

Our journey all about textiles, where we've been learning about templates and joining techniques.

But today, we're going to use design criteria to develop ideas.

So let's see what equipment we all need to cover that in today's lesson.

In this lesson, you will need some paper, a pencil and some scissors.

And remember, because we use these scissors today, make sure you're using them under the supervision of a parent or a carer.

So if you need to pause the video now, go and collect your paper, pencil and scissors.

Now's the time to do it and then you can press play when you're ready.

Off you go.

Well done for getting everything you need.

Let's see what we're going to do next.

Now we're going to see what our lesson is going to look like today.

So first, all together we're going to start with our intro quiz.

And then we're going to be recapping our previous lessons.

We're then going to do our star words.

We're then going to look at design criteria.

Then, we're going to explore template shapes.

And finally, all together, we will end with our exit quiz.

Are you ready my quiz superstars for our intro quiz? Excellent, I'm ready to.

Now my first question for you today I would like you to tell me two animals you would see at the zoo.

So if you went to the zoo, what two animals could you see? Have some time to think? Are you ready to tell me? Good, tell me your two animals.

Fantastic thinking, well done.

Some of you might have said elephant, giraffe, lion, tiger.

Some of you might even have said some reptiles like snakes and lizards.

Well done, the thinking of two animals you would find at the zoo.

Now, I'm going to bring along a toy of mine.

He's called Charlie the chimp.

Now, I wonder if you can tell me what kind of toy do you think Charlie is? Have a look at him.

He's a special type of toy.

What kind of toy do you think Charlie, the chimp is? Can you tell me now? Well done if you said puppet.

Charlie the chimp is a puppet.

So I have my hand, puts him on.

He's a glove pocket.

Here he is.

And he sits on my hand and I can move him inside.

Well done if you knew that and well done on our intro quiz.

I know you'd be amazing at that.

Now I wonder if you can remember what we were learning about last lesson.

Do you remember we had a paper template of a glove puppet, didn't we? And we drew around it to make two pattern pieces and we made a mock-up glove puppet, didn't we? And we practised joining the front and the back pattern pieces together using lots of different joining techniques.

Can you remember any of those joining techniques that we used? I wonder if you can remember.

We started with sewing, didn't we? And you did a running stitch to join the fabric together.

We then used some staples to join our fabric along the top.

We then glued around the thumb.

And to finish, we used some pins to join our fabric together.

So we practised all of those different joining techniques and we decided which one we liked the best.

It is time for our star words.

Get those fingers ready.

Get those smiles ready.

Excellent, let's see our first word.

Because you might turn your turn, criteria.

Well done, criteria.

Fantastic, we're going to be using criteria.

Criteria is a list of things that our product has to have or be able to do.

So when we evaluate our product at the end of our unit of work, we will judge it against that list of criteria.

Next word, template, template.

Well done, and we've had about template, haven't we? We had our paper template.

Now template is a shape that has been drawn and this helps us in cutting out our shape.

So we use this to make sure we had our pattern pieces.

Next word, my turn, design, design.

Well done.

Now design is where we create, develop, communicate our ideas for a product.

So we're going to be thinking about our design today.

Well done on joining in on our star words.

So let's start by thinking about design criteria.

Now, let's have a think about our design brief.

So what is it in this unit of work that we are going to design and make? So we are going to design and make a pocket for a zoo gift shop.

So we're going to be making a puppet that could be sold in a zoo gift shop.

And let's have a little think about what we all already know about puppets.

So I have brought along my puppet friends to help us with our thinking.

We have got Cranky, the crocodile and Charlie, the Chimp.

Now these puppets are going to help us to have a think.

Because we are going to have a think about what makes a really good puppet? What does a puppet have to have for it to work and for it to be successful? So you're going to pause the video and have a think about my Charlie the Chimp, and Cranky, the crocodile.

What makes a really successful puppet? What does it have to have? What does it have to do to be successful? Then press play when you have your ideas.

See you in just a minute.

Well done for having a think.

I wonder what you came up with.

What does a puppet need to be able to do to be successful? What kind of things does it need to have to make it a puppet? Now we're going to have Charlie the Chimp help us with our design criteria.

So what does it need to have? Come on Charlie.

Let's see what my ideas are and see if they were the same as your ideas.

So first, a puppet should fit on the user's hand.

So I can take my hand and I will put it inside Charlie the Chimp and it Fits on my hand.

And there is a space here for my little finger and there is a space here for my thumb.

And my fingers are inside parts of his head.

So there is a fit to my hand and there is this space for the little finger, space for the thumb and space for the other fingers.

I guess it needs to fit on the user's hand.

That's really, really important.

Let's see what's next? Now, because our design brief is a designer puppet for a zoo gift shop, we need to make sure that our puppet has the appearance of a zoo animal.

So Charlie is a chimpanzee and we might find chimpanzees at the zoo.

So when we're thinking about our design, it needs to have the appearance of an animal you would find at the zoo.

Let's see what's next.

It should be moveable and flexible.

So I need to be able to move Charlie the chimp hands, and his head, and the body to turn into that character.

So when we make our puppets we need to make sure that we can move the puppet.

We can move the arms, we can move the head, and we can move the body.

So remember it should fit on the user's hand.

It should look like as the animal and it should be movable and flexible.

So that is our puppet design criteria that's all we need to be remembering all the time now everybody, when we are designing and making our puppet.

Now we're going to be thinking about one of our design criteria, the one where it's that it needs to have the appearance of a zoo animal.

So we are you going to be exploring template shapes now.

The last time we used this basic glove puppet template but I wonder if we can explore the shape a little bit more to help us to make sure that our puppet really looks like that zoo animal that we have chosen.

Let's have a look together.

Let's start by having a look and a think about my favourite animal, the giraffe.

Now have a look at that amazing picture on your screen now of the giraffe.

I wonder what shape can you see? What features does a giraffe have? Because we need to think about these when we make our template.

And now you can pause the video have a really good look at that photograph of the giraffe.

What shapes can you see? What features does it have? Join us when you've had your think? Well done for having a think.

I wonder what shapes the features you noticed.

Now, when I was looking at the photograph of the giraffe, and I was having a look of this model giraffe that I have in my house, I wondered if you noticed that the giraffe has horns on top of it's head.

Did you see that? Now I think that would be really important to include in our template, wouldn't it? That's a really good feature that a giraffe has.

I wondered if any of you noticed the shape and the size of the ears.

And I think again, that would be really important to put the shape of those ears onto our template to help it look like a giraffe.

Did anyone else notice it's a long muscle? I wonder how we might be able to show that in our template, to show that in our puppet, because it's really important when we design and make our animal puppet, that it looks just like the animal we want it to be.

I'm going to show you how I'm going to create a giraffe template.

So I've got my giraffe picture here to help me.

So I'm going to have a go and see if I can draw a giraffe template.

I think I'm going to start by making sure I've got the giraffe horns.

Lets add those on.

And I'm going to look at the shape of those ears and make sure I get that shape perfect.

You got the other side as well.

Get them the same.

And now I'm going to concentrate on this long muzzle and the shape of the head.

Can you see how the eyes come out slightly at the sides? I'm going to add that in into the long muzzle, the other side as well.

Okay, lets have a look.

I've got the horns, the ears, the long muzzle, the wider bit near the eyes.

Now, remember and this is a glove puppet.

So it's body needs to use the arm criteria as well.

So it needs to have to fit on our hand.

So I need to make sure I've got room for the little finger and the thumb.

So we're going to add in that glove puppet shape now, keeping it wide at the bottom.

So I don't need to add any other features on here.

I don't need add in the eyes, the nostrils, the pattern, because this is just a paper template.

This is what we would use as our shape to help us with cutting out our pattern pieces.

So can you see what I've done? I've had a really good look at my animal that I've chosen, looked at the features and made sure I added this onto my glove puppet, making sure that also that it's a block puppet shape.

I've got room for my thumb and room for my little finger.

Now we've had a think about a giraffe.

Let's have a think about an elephant.

So have a look at the photograph of the elephant on your screen.

And again, let's think about what shapes can you see? What features does it have? So I'd like you to pause the video, have a really good think about my questions.

So what kind of shapes can you see and what features does an elephant have? And then you're going to press play when you're ready.

Well done for having a think.

I wonder what you came up with.

What shapes did you see? What features does an elephant have? I bet you noticed those big elephant ears.

I bet you noticed that long elephant trunk.

Did you also notice the tusks? Amazing, well done.

Did you have a look at the shape of the elephant head? Well done.

I'm going to turn this photograph of an elephant into a puppet template.

So again, I've got my photograph of the elephant to make sure that I am concentrating on all of those features because those features in our template is going to help us to make sure that our puppet looks exactly like the animal we want it to be.

So I think I'm going to start with a rounded top of the head, and then add in these big ears on the side.

And I want them to be really big and exaggerated.

Let's do that on the other side.

And then I'm going to go into the tusk shape, into the trunk, into the tusks on the other side as well.

And then I'm going to remember that this is a glove puppet.

So as part of its body template, I'm going to make sure we have room for my thumb and room for my finger.

The glove puppet shape, but there's space at the bottom for me to put in my hand.

Now the tusks and the trunk might not necessarily help us with our pattern pieces.

But I've put them in there in case you want to make in two different parts.

For example, it's reminded that we will need to add in these shapes.

So this is what I would draw if I wanted to make an elephant glove puppet.

This is my template.

So now it is your turn to have a think about creating those different animal templates.

So remember our design brief is to design and make a puppet for a zoo gift shop.

So part of that means that it has to be the appearance of a zoo animal.

So you're going to think about those shapes and features of those different zoo animals to help you to create a template.

So here's a reminder of some of the animals at the zoo lion, tiger, elephant, giraffe and monkey, that's a Lima, parrots are birds of prey as well, amphibians such as frogs, zebras, different types of monkeys, such as chimpanzee, bears, meerkats, and leopards, cheetahs, that kind of thing.

So I'm going to quickly show you how I'm going to make my templates and then it will be your turn.

Okay, so I'm going to start by focusing on drawing a template for a lion.

And one of the main feature of the lion is that amazing mane that it has.

So when I draw my template, I'm going to make sure that I have a mane shape in there.

When you draw your template everybody know your small drawings for me big drawings from the top to the bottom of your page and about half an A4 page wide.

So I'm going to start with that mane shape and it's almost like a fluffy shape I'm going to draw in.

And then remember that this is a glove puppet.

So I need space, a little finger, I need space at the bottom to put my hand and I need space for the thumb.

So I'm not going to add in any more details than that because all I'm focused on with the template is just that basic outline shape.

So is that interesting a round head I've added in this fluffy mane shape add in that feature.

Let's have a look at the chimpanzees.

I'm going to focus on these little ears and the rounded head shape at the top.

We'll start with the head shape, into the small rounded ears, one on each side, it's a cheek shape, and then remembering that it's a glove puppet, the room for my little finger, room for my hand, and room for the thumb.

I also had a go at doing two more.

So here is my template shape for a parrot.

So instead of having the rounded shape, I made sure that it looks like feathers because parrots are feathery, aren't they? So I want to add that feature into my template.

The same with the amphibian, same with the frog.

So we've got these shapes here, where the eye sit.

And there is a wider cheek shape.

And again a kind of rounded parts where you put your finger and your thumb.

I've turned those into the parts that you would see on a frog's foot.

So now it's going to be your turn.

I would like you to draw me at least four different animal template.

Remember, no detail needed just the outline shape.

So choose me four animals and draw their basic shape remembering to add in their main feature.

When you have done that everybody, I would like you to press play so we can show off together our amazing templates.

Good luck and off you go.

Welcome back to the lesson everybody.

I hope you had fun creating your animal templates.

Now I really want to have a look at them.

I'm going to put on my looking glasses.

Can you show me, show your screen your animal templates I'm having a look.

Wow, they look amazing.

Well done.

I'll show you my finished animal templates.

Here are my finished animal templates.

So I carried on and I did the lion, the monkey, the frog and the parrot.

But you can see I've made mine into a presentation page.

So I've added a big, bold title, zoo animal templates.

I've labelled the animal, and I've also put a little picture to help me to remind me all the features of that animal.

So that's something you might like to do.

You might like to make a presentation page with a title, and some labels, and some pictures.

You might like to do that after the lesson has finished today.

We've got one more job, everybody.

We need to do our exit quiz.

Are you ready? Me too.

Let's see if we've locked in all of that new knowledge for today.

Now remember, we looked at design criteria for a glove puppets, didn't we? I wonder if you can remember any of those criteria.

So what does a puppet have to do to be able to be successful? Have some time to think.

What does a puppet need to have or be able to do? Would you like to tell me one of your ideas? Well done, amazing thinking.

I wonder did you say that it needs to fit on the user's hand, space for the little finger, space for the thumb? Did you tell me it needed to look like a zoo animal? Well done.

And did you tell me it needed to be moveable and flexible? Well done if you did.

One more question before you go.

I wonder, can you remember any of the features of an elephant? So what features does an elephant have that we focused on today? Have some time to think.

Tell me your feature.

Bright idea, did you say big ears? Did you say a long trunk and tusks? Well done if you did.

An amazing lesson today everybody, you worked incredibly hard.

I cannot wait to see you next lesson.

Bye everybody.
