Skills to develop
Project Activities
Texture Hunt and Colour Chat
Students explore fabrics and textiles around their home and classroom, noticing different textures and colours. They share what they find with their partner class through photos and simple descriptions, learning what textures and colours are special in their partner's community.
Fabric Stories and Design Ideas
Students look at the photos and descriptions from their partner class and talk about what textures and colours they like. Together with their teacher, they sketch simple clothing designs that mix ideas from both communities, choosing textures and colours that tell a story about both places.
Make Your Textured Clothes
Students create their own clothing piece or fabric art using real materials like felt, thread, buttons, and paint, combining textures and colours inspired by both their own community and their partner class's ideas. They work over several sessions, experimenting and improving their designs.
Photo Exchange and Story Sharing
Students photograph their finished pieces and write or record a short story about why they chose their textures and colours and how their design blends ideas from both communities. They share these with their partner class on a shared board or forum.
Live Design Showcase and Reflection
Students join a video call with their partner class to show their finished pieces, tell the stories behind their designs, and listen to how their partners created theirs. Together, they talk about what they learned about textures, colours, and how different communities make clothes special.
