Weaving with Wood




















To extend upon Irene's natural weaving with the children, a couple of weeks ago, I introduced Jorja, Caelyn, Emily and Mania to weaving at the wood carpentry table. I demonstrated how we can use wool and material wrapped around nails, to create three-dimensional woven pictures. The girls were eager to have a go, and enjoyed creating their own three-dimensional woven pictures.
The girls are learning basic mathmatics and numeracy, in which they are able to order, group and compare different objects and materials, through the patterns within their weaving.
