School ProjectsMostlySunny wibbles, "When I was 11 I got an A for my study of shark nets - mostly because I handed it in cut out in the shape of a shark."
Do people do projects that don't involve google-cut-paste any more? What fine tat have you glued together for teacher?

xmas merrimentbeing the son of the headmaster of a small rural primary school, I was often disallowed from winning competions and the like if they were judged internally, you know to stop the plebs thinking I won because daddy was in charge.
The exception to this was the annual christmas picture competition which was judged by a different local "artist" every year. Because of the independence of the artist my creative attempts were allowed the same chance of winning as any other kid's pic.
I drew the same picture every year.
Each year I'd produce an image of Santa, his reindeer and sleigh silhouetted against the full moon in an "ET Stylee". Sometimes I'd add the silhouette of a townscape, others times I'd add a snowy foreground, but it was pretty much the same picture every year.
And every year I'd get at least 2nd in whatever age category I was in.
if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
