How to Hook Students into Learning with Hands-on Textile Crafts

How do we keep children engaged until year end and still teach them something useful AND tick off some of our learning outcomes? Term 4 is the ideal term to hook students into learning with hands-on textile crafts. It's also a great time to have a go at some new teaching strategies that you may have been putting off. Now is the time to have a go and enjoy the process alongside your students.In this episode Edwina shares how she incorporates sewing and textile crafts to tick off multiple curriculum outcomes and make learning relatable and transferable for students, all while teaching them lifelong skills in the process. Edwina shares how the project she does with children meets the outcomes in English, Design and Technologies and Digital Technologies.
