    In art, Year 3 had a fantastic time experimenting with dip dyeing fabric. The students were eager to try out this creative technique, carefully dipping the fabric in and out of the dye to achieve different shades and effects.

It was a brilliant session, and the students were really proud of their colourful creations!
