Class 3 - sewing

Class 3 was very excited to practice some pre-sewing skills today! This fine motor activity was very challenging for everyone. We chose colourful yarn and Ms Heather helped everyone thread a needle, then we sewed on some special sewing frames Ms. Heather made for us! The up and down movement pattern of sewing is very tricky and we had to concentrate to get our needle to pull our thread all the way through (Elect 5.3 fine motor tool using, 4.18 identifying patterns). As we watch our sewing needle move and pull the yarn our understanding of shapes and spacial awareness develops (Elect 4.17 understanding 2d and 3d shapes). We are learning so much and making some beautiful spring art work!
