From the Sheep to the Shop

This term we have been exploring the process of wool from the sheep to the finished product. The students have been lucky to see a sheep being shorn thanks to Mr and Mrs Coutts for letting us visit and thanks also to Mr Bradfield for the shearing demonstration. The students have been able to really get a hands on feel for the properties of wool and the different stages it goes through before it reaches the final product.
