Watercolour Weaving

Here's a lesson I did as a casual (or 'sub'), when I was meant to be doing weaving with my Stage 3 (year 5/6) class. This was to be a precursor to them actually doing some wool weaving to create a little mat which would eventually be a bookmark.

This was the first lesson, and I had been told what to do, seen a sample from some other stage teachers...but couldn't find any coloured paper. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention - so we went one step further.

And just quietly, it turned out great :)

Here's a couple of snaps of the weaving half-way through. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get a picture of the completed products, but that's ok: this gives you a general idea.
