Completed cushions

Here are some of our completed cushions that we have been sewing.

We used - hessian, wool, sequins, buttons, and needles Our teacher then put a backing on them and then we stuffed them and made them into cushions.

We had heaps of fun!

Sewing

We have been working on making cushions for our school library to make it more comfortable and colourful. Here we are sewing with needles and wool onto hessian. A lot of fun but also a lot of concentration and patience needed. We are only half way through and will update with our finished products later on.

Rippa Rugby

Hearing my name called out, I jumped up, my heart was beating fast like it was going through time. The crowd went wild. Portland School clapped and cheered as hard as they could. I had been given player of the day. Yay! I was really proud of myself. I felt fantastic and held my head high, it was the best sports day ever! Recount written by Rawiri

BUBBLES
