Design Hub



With NAPLAN and the Sacrament of Reconciliation behind us, Year 3 are now looking for donations to stock our Design Hub. The Design Hub is a place where the students will nurture their curiosity and creativity to solve hands-on problems.

To fill our Design Hub with suitable materials, we require each family to be on the look out for the following or similar items:

·      Cardboard: boxes, sheets, tubes, toilet rolls 

·      Paper: construction, wrapping, patterned, tissue, bags, cups, 
plates, newspaper, magazines, cards, envelopes, cardstock 

·      Wood: popsicle sticks, skewers, wood scraps, dowels, toothpicks,  

·      Metals: broken parts of household items, hardware, paper fasteners, pipe cleaners, foil, craft wire 

·      Plastic: straws, bowls, lids, containers, stir sticks, 

·      Small hard items: rice, beans, pasta, buttons, beads, 

·      Small soft items: cotton balls, pom poms 

·      Fabric: scraps, socks, felt, ribbon, netting, mesh, 

·      Other: craft foam, Styrofoam shapes, stuffing, feathers, elastic 
bands, clamps, string, wool, rope 

·      Adhesive: glue, masking tape, clear tape, electrical tape, duct tape
I will have tubs ready on Monday to separate the different materials. I don’t expect any of you to go and purchase anything as I am hoping we will have many items (which would normally go into our recycling bins) at our disposal.
Thank you and enjoy your weekend!
