Year 4 Ash class stepped back in time this week as they explored the natural dyes used by the Anglo-Saxons. Inspired by these traditional methods, they experimented with modern-day natural ingredients including turmeric, beetroot and blackberries to create their own vibrant colours.
There was lots of excitement as they dyed their cloths and discovered the different shades each ingredient produced. It’s safe to say it was great fun, especially as the colours didn’t just stay on the fabric, but on their hands too!
