Immersion Day

Last Tuesday we had a great time making a range of possible market day products from a lot of different materials.

We were allowed to go to any of the classes in the Middle Magic Team and explore the range of different materials and products.  Here are some photos of us making and creating.

After we finished we pretended we had $1 to spend and decided which items we would buy.  These are the items we liked the best.

We had a class discussion about what made these products more successful than others.  Why didn't we choose some of the other products?  This is what we found out:

Why do we think these products sold in our mini shop?

They were not plain

They could move or you could play with them

Not just made out of paper

Creative

Look realistic, what they are supposed

Colour and texture

Layers of different colours

Sparkles and extras added to it, decorated, made more interesting

Other people didn’t make – it’s a one off.

Being original

They were useful – the bookmarks, we can use it

They had parts that move

They were not fragile, weak, could easily break
