Weaving our way through May

It is important to learn different skills and talents in school, that’s why we have spent the past few weeks learning how to weave. Weaving is not only a relaxing but fun activity, it is an important life skill.

To begin our weaving learning, we learned how to create optical illusions using the weaving strategy. We created these using coloured paper and card. Looking at these optical illusions, you should see some 3D cubes sticking out at you 👀

Following on from our paper weaving, we constructed our own cardboard loom. We used plastic needles and wool to weave a beautiful piece of fabric. Some were large enough to use as coasters ☕️

Since our woven coasters worked out so well, we decided to up our game and create some beautiful woven cups. These were tedious and we all were sick of hearing “over and under”, however they were definitely worth the work ✨
