Textiles: Bookmarks
Pupils develop and practise threading and weaving techniques using various materials and objects. They look at the history of the bookmark from Victorian times versus modern-day styles. The pupils apply their knowledge and skills to design and sew their own bookmarks.
We’re monitoring the upcoming 2025 National Curriculum updates and will revise our resources when we know more. Learn more
