Futuraskolan International Rådan’s grade 7:b class got to use their imagination in sewing class. Learners selected a planet and researched the meaning of the planet’s name and what the planet is like. Learners then used this information to create an outfit for people who lived on the planet (assuming that there was an oxygen atmosphere and the inhabitants were human).
The learners showed amazing creativity in their designs!
