Tie- Dye

We finished our worked on Fabric and Fibre with some tie-dye work. 
The children brought in a white top and tied it up anyway they liked with some elastic bands. The tops were left to soak in the dye over the weekend. They were rinsed and then the elastic bands were taken off to reveal the patterns the children had made!

Some of the class modelling their tops!

A Busy December

History Day

We had a history day in December. The children in room 13 presented their history projects that they had been working on for homework. Each child picked an important person from history and did a project on this person. Alot of the children also dressed up on the day as a person from history, some chose to dress as the person they did their project on.

Many of the children brought in artifacts to show the class. It was great to see lots of items from the past that we no longer use. The children were practically interested in the old phone brought in by Ellen and they typewriter and mobile phones brought in by Ms O' Neill. 

A special thank you to Ms Carroll for her talk on the sinking of 'The Tayleur' and to Ms McDermott and her class for performing their play about 'The Tayleur'.

It was great to see some parents on the day too as it was also the school open day. 

Fabric and Fibre

In December we worked on fabric and fibre during our visual art lessons. We worked with hessian and made sock puppets based on children's story characters.
