In Connector lessons the children have been using an old item of clothing to create a new fashion item with a new purpose.
Ranging from everyday wear to new party outfits, the Chipmunks used sewing to attach buttons, bows and sequins to jazz up their item.
Once created, both Year 3 & 4 joined together for a fashion show on Friday afternoon.
Please have a look at the wonderful new fashion crazes created!

During Connector sessions this term, children will be working in small groups to create their own healthy cereal bar! The children were shown this video and rather enjoyed laughing along!

Here are some pictures from the highlight of our Immersion Day, Feet Painting!
The Chipmunks were finding out about Earth Hour and Carbon Footprints so we decided to make a painting of our world using our feet!
I must admit, it did get rather smelly!

As part of the Chipmunks Literacy work, we will be looking at story writing for the first few weeks back at school! For this we will be using the text ‘The Wandering Wombles’ by Elisabeth Beresford.
If children get the opportunity to have a look on the internet at the Wombles and any of the stories written my Elisabeth Beresford, that would be fantastic!

The Chipmunks have started to design their very own recycled item of clothing. After working out how to ‘jazz’ up the item, the Chipmunks are now ready to start their work!
Mr Capes even attempted to reignite his own sewing skills which quickly turned into a disaster!
Extra lesson are required!!
Mr Capes
As part of out D &T focus during Connector lessons, children will be using an old item of clothing to create a new fashion item!
We would be very grateful if children could have a look at home for something they can use for this project.
Please can children bring in their item for Wednesday 21st March when we will be starting the designing.
If you have any spare buttons, ribbons, zips or anything that could be attached, these would be gratefully received.
Thank you
Mr Capes

In Literacy, the Chipmunks have been learning how to write letters!
As a practice before our Big Write on Monday, the Chipmunks have written a letter to Greenpeace asking questions about a topic they would like to find out about.
Mr Capes has already been in contact with Greenpeace and we will be looking forward to their responses!
