Well - today the children had another go at their plans for their garment. It has proved to be a very tough process for them - it is hard for them to visualise how things will look. However - I believe it is an essential part of the process and makes them "own it" more. I have had discussions with everyone on how they think they can make it work - and yes - I have tried to steer them sometimes in a direction that I think may work - but then again - it may not!.
Tonight the children have all brought home their plans to show you. They are now asking for your help to get them started - to help them create the chicken wire structure that they can papier mache or find the bits and pieces they need to get started.
I have quickly worked out that, while as a school we decided that it is to be the children doing all the work, this is not always feasible. By this I mean - that if we do not help the children to get a good base structure to work from then things will not hold together further down the track.
the children that come prepared on Monday are the ones that will be able to get started. So... please get your creative energy flowing.
