August 2023 Intake – Visit Invite
Please click on the invitation below:
Beautiful, Beloved Birds!
P6/7 stitched a felt bird for a special person in their life. They had to learn how to cut a pattern out, pin it on to the felt and then cut it out very carefully.
Buttons were sewn on to the wings and running or back stitches were used to sew the sides together – life skills for the future!
Don’t you think they look bold, bright and brilliant birds?
