Dolls and Roosters

• Grades prep, One and Two from Koondrook Primary School created these very cute “ Dolls in Sleeping
  Bags” during our textiles unit in term 3.
• We learnt to execute a range of stiches using acrylic yarn and hession . We were really excited with
  our finished creations.
• In class we wrote stories about our dolls and made these into mini books as part of our ‘Book
  Week’ activities.

Year of the Rooster

• Grade 5 & 6 students from Koondrook Primary School were intrigued by a string of Vietnamese fabric
  chickens at a Queen Victoria Market stall whilst at Urban Camp in June.
• They decided that they could create their versions of these chickens/roosters in their weekly art
  sessions.
  
• Initially we used Procion dyes to create a fabric colour wheel with the primary colours.
• These beautifully coloured fabrics were then cut , stitched , stuffed, glued, decorated and then strung
  to create their fantastic mobiles.
• A variety of sewing techniques and skills were learnt along the way including developing their patience
  and perseverance.
