LO2: Charity Campaign Logo

We decided to use light calm colours so that the logo looked kind and child friendly. A logo is important so people can easily relate to a campaign.We put a family on the logo because EACH is a family charity. We used the caption, Don't wait, Go donate, because it is our slogan and catches peoples attention because rhyming makes it easier to remember.
This logo will be placed on any leaflets, posters and flyers that we sent out regarding our campaign and EACH.

LO3: Letter to Charity shops about our progress

Dear Sir/Madam,
                          I am Nina Almond and I am doing a Creative and Media diploma at Wymondham High school. You may remember me from a few weeks back when I and some others in my group came to visit your charity shop to talk to you about our scheme to raise awareness and get more donations to the EACH charity.
Since we came to visit you last we have been busy creating TV adverts that have been shown in the forms of our school, school assemblies and posters to go up around the school all raising awareness for your charity. 

Probably our biggest campaign for your charity has been a theatre in education (TIE) workshop that we performed at Browick Road Primary school in Wymondham. We did some short performances to engage the children and then broke off to do individual workshops with separate year 2 classes. This was very successful as we found out many of the children liked to donate to your charity shops anyway and if they didn’t we have now urged them on to do it in the future.

We hope all the things that we have done around the school will get Wymondham High School donating also.

Thank you for letting us work in partnership with you for the short time it has been, we hope all of our hard work will pay off and donations will be flooding through your doors soon!
 
Yours faithfully,
                      Nina Almond

Making of my shoe week three

I am now into the third week of making my shoe. So far I have completed the shoe structure of paper mache with tissue paper and have also added some embellishments such as a lace frill. Today I was working on a sole for the shoe. I have decided to make it out of a cover of cotton. I tie-dyed the cotton so that it had a more interesting effect. I have had an idea for the heel: I will make it out of a stack of cotton reels to go with theme of my shop – the needle work shop.

LO4: Pictures from Browick Road workshop

Below are some pictures that were taken at the TIE workshop at Browick Road last week. Each picture has a caption underneath so you can see exactly what is happening: For safety reasons all the pictures had to be taken with only the back of the children's heads showing because some of the children's parents did not want their children used.
