Sugar Hill Primary School Year 5 Class 11 Pupils and their teacher, Karyn Syms, have created a stunningly gorgeous felted cushion.
This is the message from Karyn and the children:
We are all delighted that the cushion has been a success.
We had a fab day and are very excited about the project.
We are particulary proud to have been involved in such an historic event.
This is how they made their cushion:
Preparing to felt
Using a rolling pin
Felting
Felt faster!
