Up the A49 to Shrewsbury today with a stop en route at Scrappies, Church Stretton for supplies and to catch up with crafting colleagues Lesley and Liz.
Then onto Severndale School, not sure what to expect. Numbers? Ability? Hard to plan without the information. Had settled on a fish puppet, cut out of a large sheet of card with 2 handles attached so that the children could make it swim around. To be decorated with lots of sparkly bits, colourful papers, textures. Wanted to avoid pva glue if possible so went armed with double sided tape and glue dots. Plus lots of lovely scrap materials; sequin waste, coloured card, cellophane and some wonderful scrunchy stuff that has no name but sounds great when it moves.
We had 10 children in all with various disabilities and lots of helpers. All loved the fish and it was flexible enough to complete quickly or spend longer on if they were happy to do so. Really enjoyed the session and looking forward to the next workshop at Ludlow Junior School where I can develop the fishy theme and go 'under the sea'.
