Preps have been investigating the wind and created wind socks to find which direction the wind is blowing and will create pin wheels and kites in the coming weeks.

Grade 1 and 2 have been designing a square for a quilt during their unit on Clothing and Texiles. Their ideas are coming alive from their plans as they create patterns, cut the material to match their patterns and learn to sew around the pictures and sew on buttons and sequins.

Grade 3 and 4 are also looking at Clothing and Texiles and have designed and created a knitting spool.
