Making costumes continues

The students are well into making their costumes. It is very important to sit down and reassess the progress made at the beginning of each session. This helps focus the students and they are able to set plans and goals for work to achieve in the session. This part of the day has focused the students and reduced them jumping from one thing to another and/or not completing parts of the costume. Likewise at the end of the day they write a reflection on their performance (did they achieve their goals), the problems they en-counted and how they solved them.

Confidence is growing when using the sewing machine, hand sewing and gluing. The students are now helping each other with advice on how to do things, reinforcing boxes, sewing flowers, weaving and doing paper mache.

The work goes on...
