Sign designing, making and evaluating

 This morning we each designed a sign for our pea garden to show how it will look and what equipment we need. Our signs need to be bright and interesting so that people will stop and read them.

 

 Here are a few designs that children came up with:



"I will have to use cardboard instead of metal because there's no metal".

"My sign will tie around the tree trunk
with string".

"I will put ribbon on my sign so
it can dance in the wind".

Once completed we began to use the  equipment available to make our signs.

 

"I'm making mine an interesting shape"

"I'm using string and cello-tape to make it strong".

"Here is my name on the back".

"I used vivid to make my writing bold".

"My sign is a person and the message will go in his speech bubble".

"My car sign is interesting. I would like to paint the wheels black".

"I would like to paint my sign lots of bright colours".

Finally we all shared our signs and made suggestions on how we could make them even better.

 

Use vivid for the message to make it easy to read.

Paint the signs to make them bright.

Use a glue gun to help it to stick together better.

Ask Mr Pike for some Nails.

Find some colourful ribbon.
