Interior Design Endeavour

IMG_0433For my Endeavour I am doing interior design.  I got my idea from architecture because its basically architecture inside a house. I planned by filling in a sheet that tells me what I have to do each month. The things I have achieved are making a mood board, designing a cushion, making a model room and painting and upcycling a chair- I am doing the chair seat in the picture. The problems that I’ve had is thinking what to put on my mood board and finding  materials. Mrs Mcfarlane helped me find stuff to put on my cushions.  At the end of my Endeavour I will show the chair that I upcycled, a model living room to put it in and a mood board for it.

RAF Endeavour

IMG_0426I got the idea because I want to work in the RAF when I am older.

I planned to make a model plane and research about most of the planes and drone.   wanted to work in the RAF when I am older.

I have started my model plane and done a lot of research about all the planes because I got a recruitment package of the RAF with lots of facts about the planes.

Starting my model plane was something I overcame as well as doing a lot of research.

Mrs Clark helped me do my model plane with the glue and knife.

I will share a sway a model plane and a lot of reaserch. I will let them fly the plane out side along the grass and they can look at the recruitment package.

Writing My Story For Endeavour

P1010936For my Endeavour this year I chose to write a story. My Story is about a Storm that hits the west coast of Scotland, when the storm hits a village in Scotland called Pugsville a family that are called the Camerons.

Fashion In The Past Century Endeavour

IMG_0422For my Endeavour this year I am studying clothes in the past 100 years because I am really interested in what people wore in the past compared to what people wear now. I got my idea from sewing and clothes designing because it includes sewing and different clothes designs. I planed my Endeavour with a long term planner which helps me with what I am doing for as long as I do Endeavour this year and I also use a short term planner which I use to help me plan what I am going to do for our Endeavour afternoon on Thursdays. I have achieved sewing my drindle skirt from the 1950s but I still need to finish another dress. For my Endeavour Mrs MacFarlane has helped me and so has my Mum. At the end of my Endeavour I will have two dresses to show.

Architecture Endeavour

IMG_0436This year my Endeavour is Architecture. I got the idea of doing Architecture because I don’t know anything about Architecture and I wanted to learn more about it. I have achieved a model house, a plan for my model and lots of research to help do my Endeavour. I planned my Endeavour by doing my long term planner. Long term planner is a planner that has writing on it which what I wanted to do in my endeavour. A problem I have overcome is when I was making my house it broke and I had to start again. My mum has helped me with my Endeavour at home and my teacher Mrs Clark has helped me in school and a teacher from the high school Mr Pollack sent me an email. At the end of my Endeavour I will have to show my model house my plan for it research and a big board of what I have have done in my Endeavour.

Wooden Toys Endeavour

IMG_0420My Endeavour is on making wooden toys. I choose this Endeavour because I wanted to try something new and this year your Endeavour had to relate to the world of work. This project  I can sell the products I make to people at the Endeavour fair.

I got my idea one night when I was watching my dad make a gate for where he was working this inspired me to chose this project.

I got my plan from looking on the internet where I saw loads of cute and really good ideas so I took some put them together and made my plan.

I have achieved lots of things like a pram, 2 jigsaws, lots of plans and wooden box with alphabet letter.

 

My Amazing Baking Project!

IMG_0028I have been doing a Endeavour Project on Baking. I chose Baking for my Endeavour because I had never done Baking before. I planned it by using a Endeavour planner. I wrote all the things that I wanted to do for it. I have achieved doing baking for all the class and making pizza for the whole school to eat. I have also achieved on nearly doing my Recipe Book with all the recipes that I have cooked so far. There has been a few problems that I have overcome. Sometimes I can’t go baking with Mary because she is busy and I had problems when I could not find books with recipes that I need in them. Mrs MacFarlane helped me when I was going baking at school. Mrs Holyoake also helped me by lending me her recipes for me to use. Out of school, Holly’s gran Mary helped me bake things for my sisters bake sale for her Endeavour. Nearly every Saturday, I go to Mary’s house to do some baking. At the Endeavour fair, I will be showing a recipe book, A taste table with all the recipes typed on a sheet of paper, and a video of me baking, and top 5 recipes that you can bake at home.

 

Sweet Making Endeavour

IMG_0025For my Endeavour this year I have picked to do sweet making. The reason I have picked to do sweet making is because I really like sweets and I really wanted to learn how to make them myself. I have made lots of diffrent types of sweets such as honeycomb, peppermint creams and lots more. The only problem I have had so far with my Endeavour is running out of time for the sweet to set so I had to leave the sweet till the next day. Mrs MacFarlane has helped me in the kitchen with making sweets and she has also helped me come up with sweets to make for the week after. At the end of my Endeavour I will have lots of sweets to show and for people to try and a video of me making sweets and I will share some recipes and even have invented my own sweets.

SHARING THE LEARNING

IMG_1588The culmination of the Endeavour project for the students is the Endeavour fair.  For primary 7 pupils they join other primary 7s from around the island in High School for an afternoon alongside S1 and S2 pupils to showcase their learning.  There is also an Endeavour fair in school for P5-7.

The High School Endeavour fair is an opportunity for students to see what others have managed to achieve in their projects and chat with them about their journey.  Teachers from High School also have a chance to meet with students and discuss their learning alongside members of the public.  It is a great opportunity for children to100_9494 demonstrate their communication and presentation skills.

Our school fair is always widely supported by parents and we have had food, cake, plants for sale, live lobsters and chicks and exploding volcanoes to entertain the visitors, as well as music and videos and games.  Sharing the learning is the final an most crucial part of the Endeavour project and it is an opportunity and motivation for children to make the effort to complete their projects.
