Felting Fun

Last Friday Primary Six were very lucky to be involved in a fantastic felting project.  Christina Sargent, Miss Grant and Mrs MacKay worked with P2/1 and P6 to design sea-themed ideas as a result of the local folklore stories as told by Tom Muir on World Book Day.  

The ideas were then turned into a pattern and pupils had to work together with wool to begin the felting.  Pupils had to work the wool with combs and a lot of water and oil-based soap was used to bond the fabric. It was a fantastic day, with really good team work by all pupils.  The finished felt will be displayed in Glasgow alongside 3 other wallhangings from other Orcadian schools.  Well done Primary Six!
