This week was:

And this week we...did all things bug-like (in honour of Fleming)

• butterfly suncatchers/stainglass with card cutouts and tissue paper
• worms in mud...jelly worms in angel delight and icing sugar/goldensyrp worms in chocolate
• bugs for mural out of model magic
• cut out our names to make 'Vision On' bug names
• made a catterpillar out of individual worker coloured circles...just add legs!

Pink Ribbon collage for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Also...

• made a Breast Cancer pink ribbon collage
• added white tissue to shark papier mache for 3D part of mural...now more than 15 have been involved in the shark....will it ever end?
• had a group visit from Sweden, Norway & Iceland...as u do!
• YAP listed skills we had as a group for the project...they included whistling, bogey juggling and fire fighting (ie. blowing a match out having lit a camp fire)
• had more fair trade products to sell in tuck shop & sold more...& ordered more....loving guiltfree tuck!
• made eggy bread (probably has some posh name) to use eggs as shells needed for art project...2 for the price of 1.
• did a speed version of evaluation...30 seconds each, say stop and someone else jumps in to evaluate in record time...was the fastest evaluation session ever...considering there were 12 workers (inc. young people) ...so if the maths works out that was 6 mins + 2mins for AOB...wow!
• Saturday - Sarah, Thomas, Josh & Craig showed other young people how to make badges, key rings and magnets, do T Shirt printing and designer socks at the Youth Council...some great designs all round. The young people attending were asked what they wanted the art activity to be next year...most said 'the same'!
• Mikey & Hafima made muffin pizzas for lunch for all George Green classmates who fought over seconds...what are muffin pizzas u ask...no not chocolate muffins...breakfast muffins halved, covered in tomato pizza topping & whatever u want with cheese sprinkled on top and popped in a pre-heated oven til brown...how easy is that?
• Sunday - Thomas, Sarah, Victoria and the inflatable Fairtrade banana were part of attempt to break a world record by Standing up against Poverty...at an event in Brick Lane - one of the many around the world...the green spot on the hand above was evidence of being counted...news of whether we were successful will follow...were there enough of us round the world to get into the Guinness Book of World Records? Time will only tell.
