Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Art- Tie-dyeing T-shirt ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-A6A204F5-FA28-4ADA-AA14-D2ED28FD5480.png) 22 January 2024 In today's afternoon's art session, Year 3 engaged in tie-dyeing. After watching a short clip on how to tie-dye a t-shirt the children carefully scrunched, folded, or coiled up their T-shirts and secured them with elastic bands. They then picked their favourite colours and mixed them in separate bottles, linking to their mood boards from our last art session. After applying the dye, each child's T-shirt was placed in a plastic bag labelled with their name. It is recommended to let the dye permeate the cloth overnight if possible, as it takes several hours for the colours to develop fully. The children are eagerly looking forward to tomorrow when they can finally remove the rubber bands and discover the exciting results of the tie-dye on their T-shirts. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-A6A204F5-FA28-4ADA-AA14-D2ED28FD5480.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1922.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-19-year-5-6-county-football) Previous ### [Year 5&6 County Football ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-19-year-5-6-county-football) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/307520609_417184820500607_1463462326324308830_n.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-23-bee-yourself-a-brilliant-online-platform-designed-to-promote-mental-health-and-wellbeing-) Next ### [Bee Yourself: A brilliant online platform designed to promote mental health and wellbeing for young people living in Blackburn with Darwen](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-01-23-bee-yourself-a-brilliant-online-platform-designed-to-promote-mental-health-and-wellbeing-) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
