The Enchanted Tree.

Progress So Far

Over the last few weeks, students that have expressed a desire to help with the design of the enchanted tree have got together for several meetings. We have discussed a design brief with ideas and constraints. Students have studied the tree trunk and then drawn up their designs. These are now on display in the Art room.

At our next meeting, students have displayed their drawings, looked at common features and ideas they wanted included. From this the final tree was designed.

Last week we met with Paul McGowan our maintenance man, to discuss our plan and see what could be done. Paul has an engineer’s background, so it will be great having him on board with the project.

A timeline has now been written with the tree hopefully finished by the end of term three.

We plan to build and erect the roof first. Keep your eye out for progress!!

If there are any parents keen to assist or provide any materials please come and see me.
