PHIC’s Marvellous Creations

October 14, 2020

In our class we have been making things.  First of all, we made some ladybirds from card.  We had to cut out different sized circles and we had to do lots of folding and gluing.




Another afternoon we went outside and found two twigs.  We tied the twigs together to make a cross.  After that we wove raffia around the sticks to make a twig weaving.




The next week we learnt how to make a paper weaving.  First we had to fold the card in half, and then we had to make cuts. We got strips of card and wove them between the card.



The children said:

“I loved doing all of them”.

“I enjoyed doing paper weaving.  It was a bit tricky but I learnt how to do it”.
