Making a trophy!

As a creativity part of my CAS, this term i chose to make a trophy for the inter house competition winners.
Mr Giddens gave this idea to me and Yein.  We were supposed to make a trophy from chess pieces.  They were very tall. And I think the pieces,  which were in the art room, were: king,  pawn and a queen.
The main goal was to make a trophy as tall as Mr Giddens :)
Me and Yein started planning the activity.  We chose a convenient time for both of us,  which was Wednesday,  lunch time and made posters. By dong this we planned and initiated our activity.  As I have never before made a trophy from the paper masher,  i had to such for some  technics in the internet.  I think I undertook new challenges and developed new skills. When I read the description it wasn't that hard to overcome anymore.
This term we run the activity three times on Wednesdays.  It wasn't a lot, but we managed to do something.    
Some of the students came. And with Yein's and a couple of students help we cut the top parts of the chess pieces and got them ready for sticking on to p of each other.  We also made a square,  which will be the base of the trophy.
Me and Yein stopped the activity because not a lot of students came and our teacher recommended us to continue the activity when a new art teacher comes.  I hope that we will successfully continue our activity next term !! And end up with a very beautiful trophy,  which we can give to a winner of the house competitions, if not this year then next year :)
