Today Mrs Walker visited Primary 3 to show us the designs for the Commonwealth Volunteer outfits. The outfits have been designed by a company called Trespass. Ava was very excited that her Mum was able to come and show us the designs.
Mrs Walker told us that there were 1500 volunteers that needed outfits. There were two different designs. One of them was black and red and this was for the normal volunteers. The other was black, blue and green and this was for the people giving out the medal and timing the events.
Each volunteer will get trousers, a polo shirt, a hat, a bag, a waterproof jacket, a warm jumper and an umbrella. The materials were special some of them helped to keep the volunteers dry if it was raining, warm if it was cold, it stopped them from sweating and the hat and the trousers even protects them from the sun.
We asked Mrs Walker lots of questions about her company and how the designs were put together. We got to hold the outfits and also had the chance to design our own outfits for the volunteers.
Mrs Walker was a very interesting visitor and she taught as a lot this afternoon. It was a very fun afternoon and Primary 3 want to thank her for coming.
How exciting! Not a lot of people have seen these outfits. It looks like you were all very interested and I am proud of you all. Taylor – you look fabulous in that cap!
