Sewing Superstars in Year 3.

During the last half term Year 3 learned and practised lots of different sewing skills each week-from threading and knotting, following a pattern to consolidating basic sewing stitches. This week we have been expanding our repertoire of stitches, in order to produce a sewn piece of artwork. Not only did we learn the lazy daisy, chain, satin and french knot stitches, we also invented a few of our own.

For the artwork we decided to use our hands as templates and create unique hand prints using a variety of stitches. We felt this would represent our own uniqueness and represent how special each of is. We put our growth mind set to good use, persevered, problem solved when things didn't go quite to plan and produced sewn hand prints we are really proud of. Take a look:-
