Project 2: What's in a name? (All groups) - Autumn 2014

This year, our school's central project (Centre d'Interès) was based on reading and books in general. We decided that the first thing we needed to be conscious of was the way the letters were formed. What better way of discovering this than starting off with our own names: manipulating different material to see how great our names look and how a small number of letters can look so interesting with different backgrounds and different techniques. 

For this project, each group of students had to use a different technique:

Infant education:

• 3 year olds: Photo of each student and printed names
• 4/5 year olds: Background with aquarela paint. Names with plasticine. 

Primary: 

• Years 1 and 2: Wax crayons for name and background.
• Years 3 and 4: Newspaper collage background. Names with thick markers. 
• Year 5: Plain white background: Letters cut from shiny paper. 
• Year 6: Wet chalk for name and background.
