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.
