2. Planning
• We worked as a group to brainstorm our story box
idea.
• Once we had selected The Jolly Postman we decided
to link all three tasks together with a common
theme.
• We looked through the book to get ideas for each of
the tasks.
3. Relevance
• We used The Jolly Postman because we could
instantly identify lots of different creative ways to
incorporate DT.
• The story follows the Postman as he visits many well-
known fairy tale characters so we felt we had plenty
of scope to use our imaginations!
• All of the tasks that we carried out could be adapted
for children to tackle with adult supervision.
4. Story Box
• As the story centres around letters sent to each of
the fairy tale characters and includes actual
envelopes within the book, we decided to make our
box into an envelope by painting it.
5. Story Box
making things move
• Our moving parts were selected as:
The Postman’s Bike
The Cottage Door
The Beanstalk
8. Designing and Making
The second part of our D&T was to design and make a piece of
clothing.
For this we decided to link it in with the theme of the Jolly
Postman and make a Postman's bag.
First we did a brainstorm design of what we wanted it to be
like. Then we made it…
