School Week 7

We were decorating the tiles today.
It is a great stage to be at as we can begin to see what the instillation is going to look like. Each of the pictures had been copied and cut into 16 squares. Each child had a square each to trace the outline onto the tile. We managed to get by with only a couple of breakages!

The P 4/5 class was first up. Firstly I gave them all the squares, posted the original on the wall and let them make the jigsaw! That took a little while, They all began to recognize the elements they had done and naturally wanted to do those sections themselves, For the most part this worked.


The P7's were away sampling the delights of Secondary school so I only had the P6's after break. It is a great wee class and they all did a couple of tiles each. These pictures are of the P6's after we had laid out the complete piece with all the outlines completed! It looks great!




I also took in some half sized edging tiles for the P1/2 and 3's to decorate as I discovered they were worried that they weren't going to get a shot. A few of them got broken so I will have to make a few more for next week.

Here's some pics of the tiles with the stains. Sorry they are a bit dark but it gives you an idea.
