As part of our inquiry topic 'Stick It' we have been exploring fastenings, and in particular fastenings on clothes. This last week we became fashion designers for our class mascot George the monkey. First we had to decide on what we were going to make for him (or his imaginary sister Georgina). Our ideas ranged from Soccer Shirts, dresses, t-shirts, vests, bow-ties to tail warmers! Then we had to draw our design and decide how our clothing would be fastened. Then Melissa, one of our kind parents came in and helped us sew them. Sally thinks we did a fab job and enjoyed seeing people problem-solving and learning new skills.
We are a class of Year 5 & 6 students located in the centre of Nelson, New Zealand.

Wow Room 5!! I love your clothes that you have designed for George! You have really learned a lot about fashion and fastenings! Maybe you could have a fashion show for George and invite Christine! Perhaps you could design Christine a new outfit! She is very fashionable isn't she?
