Grade 2 Fashion Show

On Thursday 10 October, the Junior Prep was filled with lots of excitement as the Grade 2 children arrived at school wearing their innovative and creative ‘Designed’ T-Shirts for their Fashion Show. 

The children were given a project whereby they had to design a T-Shirt after looking at a variety of patterns within their environment. The children were actively engaged in a design thinking process and were inspired by a variety of activities which involved the observation and discussion of patterns. The big question was the driver of the activity: ‘How might patterns bring meaning to our world?’ The process involved creating a PowerPoint presentation that contained examples of patterns they found on their nature walks, as well as photos of their design process. The PowerPoint slides were then converted to QR (Quick Response) codes that were available for parents to scan at the Fashion Show

The scene was set: the runway was ready and popped with bright coloured artwork, and umbrellas formed a backdrop.

Back in the classrooms the excitement was mind-blowing, with the children practising their last minute ramp walk.

The children took to the stage in teams to showcase their amazing outfits: finally the hours of practising and the time spent making and creating their outfits came to life.

The audience members were left amazed by the children’s outfits and confidence that they displayed on the runway.

A popular dance amongst the groups was the ‘Floss’. It was certainly perfected on the day.

In true fashion mode, the children struck a pose during their routines giving the audience an opportunity to capture the moment.

It was certainly a successful day enjoyed by all who attended, most particularly the children.
