what we have done in the week

Tuesday-
Mel came in to the lesson to show us how to do knitting which i found really hard to get the hang of!!! so instead i did sewing and made a cushion which i am really proud of!!
i didnt get any skills from this day but it did make me relise that i had a very good skill in sewing.

Wednesday-
Wendy who designed the seats for british air ways first class came in to tell us about what she does and helped us with our planing for our figurines.
she also gave us doelite which is a clay but its very different to other clays because its very light and when it drys it goes rock hard.
from this lesson it helped me gain ideas for ma figurine.

Thursday-
we drawed up figurines and made them out of plastercine.
i had loads of fun making them and after i finished making one figurine i wanted to make more!!and evryones ideas were just flowing.
we also took pictures of our figurines and stuck them into our sketch books and wrote up a evaluation.
right at the end me, maria and eren put all our figurines together and made our own figurine family and took pictures of it and printed them out and put them into our sketch books.
in this lesson i have had the most fun out of all the lesson since we have started this new unit.

Friday-
we each wrote about one person in the class and then wrote them up on the board. after we did that we draw them which had to link to the words they were described by.
we also had to write down our words that got written for ourselfs then we had to draw ourselfs based on the words that were written about us.
we did these drawings of ourselfs because next lesson we are going to make figurines of ourselfs based upon these words that got written about usd which describe us.
