Y3 - DT - Gingerbread stained glass biscuits and packaging

Lesson: Design and technology

Class: Year 3 Year: 2024 - 2025

This half term's DT project involved us evaluating some stained glass window biscuits. We thought about which designs looked best and then designed our own, choosing the outside shape, inside shape and the colour of sweet in the middle. 

Then we had an afternoon of rolling, cutting and baking.

At the same time, we designed and constructed a package for our biscuit, something that would keep it safe and also make it more appealing to give to someone, we thought about eye catching colours and messages.

Then we packaged up our biscuits ready to take home and gift them!

"I have never rolled dough before, it was a lot harder and I had to keep squishing it and then rolling again to make it soft" - Skylar

"Our biscuits didn't all fit in our boxes because they had got bigger in the oven!" - Emily
