As part of our Threads and Textiles unit, Grade 5/6 students learned how to do circular weaving using unwanted CDs and DVDs as a loom. They also learned how to create pom poms.
Basket Weaving
To tie in with NAIDOC week and students' integrated topic of the Stolen Generation, we investigated the artwork of the Tjanpi Desert Weavers. We focused mainly on the baskets that these women wove out of natural materials. Sharing the story 'Collecting Colour' by Kylie Dunstan was a great introduction for this activity.
