Making the owls

Why owls? 



Well after the success of the pom-pom sheep project last year in conjunction with Armley Mills, Leeds, many of the pupils kept asking me when were we going to have another pom-pom day? 

I also had a lot of natural coloured wool left over from the project kindly donated by the school community and Edward Hill @ Sons, Bradford and was thinking of another pom-pom animal project.

The owl is such an important symbol associated with Leeds:- it is on Leeds' Coat of Arms (as is a sheep) and you can see them all over the city in so many places, if you look for them, (see The Owl Trail). It simply had to be an owl. Then I wanted to make an owl in school colours as well, so they became two.

Here is a video of how it all went.
