This
task could be used in conjunction with the QCA Scheme of Work Unit
4A 'Money Containers'.
It
is designed specifically to develop skills and does not, in the
initial task, require children to consider design or material selection.
Often, quite appropriately, the majority of time spent on a task
addresses design and evaluation. However, it is also important to
ensure that we provide sufficient opportunities for children to
develop skills, including following instructions.
Ideally,
children should complete this task in small groups under the supervision
of a teacher, classroom assistant or other adult. As far as possible
it will be helpful if groups have children of similar abilities.
This will make it easier to maintain the pace most appropriate to
all group members. Depending on the size and composition of your
class, you may feel able to complete the activity as a whole class.
It
would be beneficial if the teacher completed this task before sharing
it with pupils. In doing so, a larger version could be made for
use in the classroom. It would enable the teacher to better understand
the nature of the construction and identify any potential problems
a specific group of children may have.
Activity
sheets including instructions and templates for the children to
use are provided.
It
is essential that children are encouraged to cut out and construct
items with care and accuracy, with guidance being given on how best
to do this. The instructions are presented in a step-by-step format
typical of construction kits etc. If the children are not familiar
with this type of instruction you may wish to discuss it with them
before the activity starts.
NOTE: When marking out shapes on felt children could be asked
to cut out the shapes from the templates and pin them to the felt
for cutting. Alternatively, they could find an appropriate tool
for drawing around these shapes on to the felt.

When
each group has completed the task they could spend a few minutes
looking at their own and each others. The adult working with them
could assist them in thinking about the quality of each product
and how this quality might be improved.
When
all children have completed their keyring/purse it would be beneficial
to discuss them all together considering and discussing the effectiveness
of the different material used.
Positive
evaluation of each other's charts and the suggesting of improvements
should be encouraged.
