DIY FOOTBALL GAME

As we can’t go out and play football why not make your own football game and play with your family.

EQUIPMENT: BOX,SCISSORS, CARD X2 (7cm by 7cm) GLUE, RULER, PAINT , PAINT BRUSH, WATER, X2 PENCILS, GREEN PAPER (OPTIONAL) GLUE GUN/ STICKY TAPE

  1. Cut out a rectangle (goal) at each end of the box.

2. Glue down your green paper in side the box or paint the base of the box green. Once dried add your white pitch lines.

3. Now get your pieces of card and draw 2 players, painting them different colours.

4. Once your players have completely dried now glue your pencils to the back of the card players (glue bottom of pencil to back of card).

5. Now you can add some detail on the inside of your box – members of the crowd, stadium signs use your imagination.

6. All you need now is a small ball, if you do not have a ball roll up a small piece of paper into the ball. Place your players into the goal and start shooting.

Keep score of all your goals. Why not start a family tournament.

Have fun and stay creative.

CREATIVE ECO – HOME TREASURE HUNT- MAPS

It’s not all doom and gloom we still have our imagination. The next time your adult makes a cup of tea take the tea bag and place in a small cup of warm water.

MATERIALS: Paper, Pencil, Pen, Crayons/Coloured pencils, Teabag, Hot water (adult supervision)

Spooky cave you have to recite your 10 x table to be able to pass to the next destination where you have to find a key which opens the treasure case. ( remember use your imagination)

4. Once teabag has cooled down, squeeze teabag leaving a small amount of liquid on it and them rub across page.

5. Now the whole page has a tint leave to dry.

6. While you wait for your map to dry gather 5 objects from around the house for a member of you house to find. write up your questions and set up your obstacles.

7. Once paper is dry screw up page and open flat, your paper will now look wrinkled and old. For a final authentic touch get a adult to burn the edges.

CREATIVE ECO SPRING TERM PT 1 – DESIGN & CREATE

After a well deserved break students returned ready to get stuck in and get creative. We started the term with a logo design project students had to create a design for a T-shirt and make out of recyclable materials. We then have taken a photo of their creations and will use the images and print on T-shirts in the new term and be showcased in our end of term Fashion show.

The second project students had a chance to use their imaginations and get creative either working in groups or independently creating their own Eco friendly pets. Firstly they had to think about what pet they wanted and the habitat their pet lives in and how they can make their pets out of the materials from our recycle corner. The project was supposed to end by the end of this term but students have worked so hard and put so much thought and details into their designs that we have run out of time on this project so much that we will complete in the new term as they have really enjoyed creating their pets.

The students have worked extremely hard this term and I cant wait for the students to see their finished projects next term.

ECO Fish tank – (will finish in new term)

Well done to Creative Eco club you have all worked so hard once again this term. Enjoy your well deserved break and stay creative over the half term.

SUSTAINABLE FASHION – STITCH CREATIONS kS1 & kS2

We started the term with both groups students basic cross stitching techniques.

Once students felt confident enough with this technique they designed a logo and cross sticthed their designs. Ks1 focused on designing patterns and shapes and Ks2 had to design a simple logo of their own choice.

As the students did so well with the stitching project we took it up another level. Students had to create a self portrait using the cross stitching techniques and a mixture of mixed materials. Once the portraits are completed they will be photographed and image will be used for a t. shirt print and the original will be decoration for a cushion (ks1) or a T. shirt tote bag. T.shirts and tote bags will be showcased in our end of term. More details will be available soon.

While students wait for their transfers to be processed they have started to make and decorate tote bags out of T. shirts (ks1) and cushions out of jumpers filled with fabric remnants (ks2).

KS1 Portrait stitch cushion corner

KS2 will finish off their portrait stitch creation and add to their T-shirt tote bags and finish decorating.

Once again students have worked very hard and have picked up so many new skills this term which they will be using next term when they will be designing and upcyling fold items into new fun and exciting fashionable creations.

Enjoy your well deserved break and i look forward to seeing you all inn the new term.

Sustainable Fashion After School Club KS2

Autumn Term 1st Half

At the start of the term in sustainable fashion we began focusing on pattern printing taking inspiration from African prints for Black History month. Each student designed a range of print designs and created their own printing blocks using card board, creating amazing prints. ​

Over the following weeks students designed and made tote bags with patch pockets from up cycled t shirts and bows.​

African inspired prints and D.I.Y printing blocks

Students worked in groups and had to produce a full out fit using scrap fabrics and materials.
