French students visit the Textiles department

15 French students visited the Textiles students at Beaumont from a vocational school in South Eastern France. It was a wonderful morning sharing with our Year 10 and 11 students. The French students toured the school, which they loved.

The students were spending five days in London visiting cultural sights and visiting Wendy Shorter and doing an upholstery workshop with Wendy in Colney Heath. Therefore they spent the morning at Beaumont, learning about school life in an English school.

Thanks go to Mrs Dorothee Fisher and Suzanne Messonier, their teachers - it was a great morning.

Mock Exam Textiles

Hi GCSE Textiles students

 

 

The theme for the mock exam in November is the fairground and you need to design a product for the teenage market.

Write a design specification and draw an idea in colour, label with fabrics, decorative techniques and components. Use an LED in your idea!

Use the AQA site to look at past papers and use BBC Bitesize to revise the topics carefully.

Bring your idea to me on Wednesday 22nd October. Good luck. Mrs T
