Weaving

Today, the children started this term’s art unit about weaving.  They learnt how fabrics are made by weaving threads together.  To get started, the children created a paper weave using a cardboard backing and strips of coloured paper.

The final results were stunning coloured chequer-board patterns!

Having practised with paper, the next step was to use wool and fabric.  The children made a start on this ahead of the next lesson.
