On Friday afternoon, we welcomed Cathy from the Community Reuse shop into school to create beautiful Christmas mirrors with our P4-7’s. Following on from our visit to The Reuse Shop before the October Holidays, Cathy showed us a fabulous way to upcycle old plates and turn them into beautiful mirrors.\ud83e\ude9e<\/div>\n

The boys and girls got their aprons on and sleeves rolled up ready for some messy craft. Cathy had brough with her some side plates, the boys and girl’s first had to stick a circular mirror into the middle of the plate and then add grout to the circumferences of their plate, making sure it was thick enough to press in some tiles and shapes. Next up – Cathy had brought in some beautiful coloured tiles, buttons and shapes, the pupils pushed these into the grout to make their own mosaic tile pattern – and I must say, they turned out absolutely beautifully. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
We can’t wait to have these go on sale at our School Show in December! Well done team P4-7, another step closer to renewing our Green Flag!<\/div>\n
