Week 4 - Working with fabric, thread and sticks

 This week the children were offered a choice of what they would prefer to make - an individual work or a group work - the children chose to create group work. Thinking about wintertime and natuve - we also spoke of the Cailleach - goddess of winter - inspired by this we began to work on a circle of life - nature - seasons changing. Everyone shared the work by cutting fabric -  helping combine put the sticks we collected on the first week together  - we all tied on a piece of fabric or the prints created. The work is looking like a Circle of life artwork -  made with the botanical prints hanging from the branch structure.

Everyone is adding some fabric to the Artwork
