Hats and Headgear

 

 

One of our parents, who has worked as a milliner for fashion houses such as Versace and Phillip Treacy, came into school to demonstrate her craft. We learnt a great deal and she inspired us to make our own felt hats.

Our trips
We have been on two trips:

1. The National Gallery.

2. The Victoria and Albert Museum.

We have a trip planned to Kensington Palace, where we shall be looking at a collection of the Queen’s and the Queen mother’s hats.

One of these photos shows the children making their felt hats and the other shows some of the finished products. Another picture shows some of the artwork that the children did, using collage, which incorporated learning how to draw a face in proportion.
