Craft (hand work) |
||
|
is an important area of the curriculum, harmonising and balancing the intellectual work undertaken by children. Through craft work certain qualities can be developed, such as perseverance and determination, concentration, an eye for beauty, colour and design, fine motor skills and particular technical skills. In craft, the school works with fine quality natural materials to encourage care and respect for the handwork process. It is helpful for parents to take a supportive interest in the progress of their child’s craft activities. The beautiful and useful items created all encourage appreciation and respect. Parent involvement in craft is encouraged and appreciated and will be communicated to parents either through the class carers or through the “Penny for Your Thoughts” newsletter.
