Term 4 - Week 9

Threads and Textiles

Foundation students have been twisting, winding and wrapping, learning about the possibilities of wool and other threads to make soft sculptures.

Grade 1 and 2 students have been learning the fundamentals of sewing; weaving, folding, creating symmetry, learning how to thread a needle, manipulate felt and create pictures using things other than the traditional mark making materials.
