Following our Froebelian approach in Primary 1, we are starting to embed our Froebelian occupations. Froebel’s occupations connected children’s first-hand experiences in their local communities with creative materials to communicate, develop physical and problem-solving skills.
Through the school year pupils have the opportunity to carry out woodwork and use clay in their clans. Champions would like to expand our occupation experiences by include sewing.
Sewing is a life skill and sustainability is a global priority. Being able to
mend or make clothes reduces waste. It is also a way to express ideas and feelings and can be an art form in itself.
If anyone would like to donate:
If anyone has an interest in sewing and would like to share this with our pupils please get in touch with Miss Connor.
