The grade 8 and 9 students have been given options during their PLC time one Friday per month. The sewing project will be a pillow that students can adorn with a letter or other simple design if they wish.
The students in sewing need to bring the following with them to their next PLC on Friday, January 19th: - 1 metre or 1 yard of fabric (broadcloth or flannel are the best choices) - Matching spool of thread if they want a thread colour other than white or black (white and black are provided by school) - Materials for their letter (suggestions: felt, buttons, yarn, iron on letter, or shirt paint) **Stuffing for the pillows will be provided by the school. The final measurements of the pillow will be a 12" square, and the letter needs to be small enough to fit on the pillow. We are in the last days before break and students have been involved in some Low Organization Games to simply be active. These games still promote fair play and team work, as well as give the a chance to release some energy.
Looking forward to 2018, grades will begin the new year with our dance unit and then onto sport related units. Selection of units will continue for the grade 7-9 classes, while grades 4-6 will have a range of sports to participate in. |
