Weaving for the art show.

2JD have spent the past few weeks preparing for the Hampden Park Public School art show. This is an annual event where each class gets to showcase the amazing, creative talents of the students. This year 2JD decided to try their hand at weaving.

First of all we practised weaving using paper and string.

Next we gathered some leaves from the school playground.

We made a loom using cardboard boxes and string.

We carefully weaved the leaves onto the cardboard loom making sure there was no spaces between the leaves.

Eventually we ended up with some excellent examples of weaving using natural products.
