1. YEAR 6 LEADERSHIP PROJECT Sophie, Eden, Jake, Nathan

2. PLANNING “SPLASH BACK”  The area behind the bubblers looked tired and dirty.  Year 6 organised the whole school to help design a tile splash back.  Every student and staff member would be able to contributed by painting a tile based on their favourite creature under the sea.

3. DESIGN  Step 1: Draw our “Under the Sea” design on a piece of paper and research what animal were going to do.  Ideas included jellyfish, butterfly fish electric eels, seahorses, crabs but most kids did turtles!  Step 2: Once we were happy with our basic design we chose our colours.

4. TRANSFER OF DESIGN  Step 3: Get a tile and transfer our animal design on it in lead pencil.  Step 4: When we were happy with our design we had to colour it in with our special ceramic paint.  We had to be careful that we didn’t smudge the wet paint.

5. ADHERING THE TILES  Step 5: Time to put the tiles on the wall  We discussed the whole process with Mr Stephenson (our General Assistant)  Step 6: Mr Stephenson went shopping for the special adhesive needed and helped us put them up on the wall.

6. THE FINISHED PROJECT  The tiles definitely brightened up the area.  The infants particularly enjoyed finding their tiles and showing their parents.  We put blank tiles for new students who come to our school so they too can design their own tile.
