Quilt of Remembrance

We finished our quilt at the end of term 2 - isn't it amazing! Thanks to the mums who came in and sewed all our quilt squares together to create such an awesome and meaningful artwork. We have it hanging in our school foyer and are very proud of it.

Stitching Samplers

We have all been stitching samplers in preparation for making our WW1 Quilt of Remembrance. We have learned how to do running stitch and cross stitch and will start designing our own squares for the quilt next week.

Field of Remembrance

Field of Remembrance

Today we create our own field of remembrance to commemorate some of the soldiers from our area who fought in World War 1. The first step was for everyone to construct their own cross for a soldier or nurse. We are very proud of our crosses and how we worked together to create them.
