Dear Quidenhams Hospice,

                               I am writing to you to let you know how we are doing in our campaign module. Although we didn't get many donations in we have definately raised awareness of your charity, by putting posters, flyers and leaflets up and around the school. We hope this will bring in more donations for you. We visited Browick School a few weeks ago and performed small performances on donating and giving, so it won't just be the teenage generation being informed about your charity, it will also be the younger so you should hopefully get a range of different donations coming in. Although this module is coming to an end, we are still making the effort to collect donations for your charity, we have a room in which they can be dropped off and collected by us at break and lunch. We hope to see you and your donations soon!

Yours faithfully, Vickey.

Dear Quidenham Hospice,
                            I am writing to you to let you know the progress we are making with our campaign module. So far we have made posters, flyers and leaflets, to inform the school, help include them in what we are doing, and hopefully recieve some donations of pupils at Wymondham High. Our posters, leaflets and flyers include a bit of information about your charity, your logo and why we would like donations for you.

Artefact-7.12.10

Today in artefact we carried on with the making of our shoes, after covering my template shoe in masking tape, I then had to cut my different parts of it out, making templates made from masking tape which I then put onto card, and drew round, left a 5mm gap for the parts which will make the 'flaps' to stick down and keep the shoe together because it it paper and won't bend without them. I then attempted to stick my shoe together, but gave up, so I will carry that on next lesson.

My experience to Florida Shoe Factory.

Tell me something about the experience.

Today I visited Florida Shoe Factory in Norwich, although I enjoyed all of the trip there was one certain part of the trip that stuck out the most for me which was when we explored all the machinery in the factory part of the building, because it was really isnteresting and I learnt alot about shoe making.

     Here are some interesting facts I learnt;

• The shoe boxes are made me prisoners in Norwich Prison.
• The company opened in the early 1900's.
• 90% of the shoes are made in India and China.
• The shoe's are always designed to be a size 4 and a half.
• A clicker is a knife which is used to cut materials such as leather.
• A bottom ruffer is the tool which designs the bottom of the shoe so it won't be to smooth that when you wear the shoes, you have the possibility of slipping over.
• A pantone book is like a booklet full of universal colours that looks a bit like this;





 

Tell me abit about the process of making shoes.
When we got back from the trip, we wrote out a step by step guide on how they make there shoes using the notes we took down while having our tour.
1. Look at the magazines they get given showing the upcoming trends called Insight and choose which colours to use using the pantone book which is the universal colours.
2. Make theme boards, which are just like our mood boards, they show the colours and designs they will use on the shoes.
3. Start sketching the shoe on paper.
4. Use plastic vacs which are like a mannequin but for a shoe, they are basiclly the shape of the shoe and you work around that. They always use a size 4 1/2, even only for the models.
5. Use what they call a computer aided device to transfer the paper design onto the computer. They then have a device like a mouse for a computer and edit the design on the computer instead of on paper, which makes it easier for undoing mistakes and changing things.
6. Take it to the cutting table, which is a big machine that has a pen, knife to cut paper and a knife to cut plastic on it, it cuts out your designs for you.
7. The men then use a clicker to cut out different parts of materials for the shoe.
8. Ladies on the sewing machines will stitch parts of the shoe together.
9. Use heat to form the heel of the shoe.
10. Glue the sole onto the shoe.
11. Use nails to attatch the heal to the shoe.
12. Use what they call a bottom ruffer to make sure the bottom of the shoe isn't completely smooth, to prevent anybody slipping over in the shoes.
13. Boxes are imported to Noriwch Prison and are made by the prisoners.

How has the visit affected the way you may make your own shoe. 
The trip to Florida Shoe's has given me some idea's on how i should make and design my shoe, for example, I will definately make sure my sketch is clear so it's simpler to go by. I will also use my mood board from looking at their theme boards, it really does help. The materials shown today have helped me with deciding what materials I will use on my shoe, e.g, all the different types of leather and the snake and lizard skin. The man showing us the materials also showed us what ones look best together, so that has helped my on deciding which ones I may use together and where.

Here are some pictures I took while I was there;

5.4-Be able to moniter the preparation and conduct of a campaign-Campaign Lesson.

In today's lesson we have rehearsed our tv advert's ready for recording them next week. We also carried on working on our workshops for the year two's when we visit Browick School, we practised how we will act with the children and what we should and should not do, we went through all the activities we will be doing with them and how to keep them under control! We
