This term at St. Johns, all of the school will be having an arts and crafts theme. Seeing as the world is in the climate that it is, we will be using recycled materials. So far, we have been weaving with paper, hessian and binker. So far, no recycled materials. We have also been asked to bring in interesting recycled materials. Some of the collected items include cake boxes, wellington boots and yogurt pots.
Coming next: Bird feeders and insect boxes.
The paper weaving: First, get a brown piece
of paper, any size. Then, draw lines a ruler's
width from the edge in a rectangle. Draw lines
a ruler's width apart in that rectangle. Cut
straight along them. Next, get coloured strips
of paper. Weave(slide) them under and over
the holes in the brown piece of paper. When you
have done that, cut any excess paper off and
glue the ends of the coloured paper to the brown
paper. Ta-da! A paper pattern, made by you.
