How to make felt..
1) Choose your colour/colours.
2) Get a bowl of warm soapy water and a tray.
3) Tear off small pieces of felt and lay them all in in the same direction in the tray.
4) Lay some other pieces going the opposite way.
5) Repeat this until it looks fairly thick.
6) Pour soapy water over the felt until it is all wet.
7) Rub over the felt with bubble wrap to make sure it all sticks together.
8) Keep going over the steps until your felt is as thick as you want it to be.
I don't think i would be able to use felt on my shoe because it wouldn't work for what i want.

5.3 Letter to charity shop..
Wymondham High School,
Folly Road,
Norfolk,
NR18 OQT.
Dear Sir/Madam,I am from Wymondham high and am one of the students that said we would help raise awareness about your charity and try to get more donations for you. So far we have put lots of flyer's up around our school encouraging students and teachers to meet in a classroom at break times and give us any donations they have. Also we have been to Browick primary school and done a performance there about how much giing to charity can really help. Then afterwards we did a workshop with them on sharing and donating, we spoke to them about what types of things to give, and how to donate. Every student there seemed really up for donating there old toys and clothes by the time we had finished, they said that when they clear out to make room for new stuff at Christmas, their old stuff would go to the charity shop. We are still working on getting you even more donations.
Yours faithfully, Jasmine Ayton.

The Wellington boot, is a type of boot based upon leather Hessian boots. They were popularised by the 1st Duke of Wellington. This novel "Wellington" boot then became a fashionable style worn by the British aristocrary in the 19th century.Wellington boots are waterproof and are most often
made from Rubber or PVC. They are usually worn when walking on wet or muddy ground, or to protect the wearer from heavy showers.
5.4 My trip to Browick primary school..
Today we went on a trip to Browick school in Whymondham, i enjoyed myself and i think most of the children did too. The performances went well even though we were missing a few of the main characters. The six people in my group, Nina, Lauren, Holly, Elliot, Charlotte and Freddie took a class of 28 of the students. All the activities we did went well and it seemed pretty successful. We took them into smaller groups of four with one of us but i teamed up with Lauren and took a group. We got them to do little performances that reflected what should have happened in Holly and Elliot's earlier little performance. This also went quite well but some of them got a bit worked up. I think the trip was a success although none of the children brought in any donations, but they did seem very up for giving donations in the future and making sure they share with friends and family. I dont think the children brought in donations because maybe they wernt quite sure what giving to a charity shop meant, were too young to donate or the point wasnt made clear enough.

5.1 Why is Barnardo's controversial?
In 2008 Barnardo's made a television advert that included a girl being hit by her father, taking drugs, mugging someone and getting arested. The advert recived 400 complaints because adults said that it was inapropriate for children that may be watching. but Barnardo's said that it had being created to show that every child, no matter what there background can break the viscious circle of disadvantage that leads young people in to trouble. But the The Advertising Standards Authority cleared Barnardo's t.v ad.
5.2 Our poster/leflets/flogo..
 |
| This is my groups leaflet/poster to encourage people to donate and give them general information about donating, how it can help and different charities. Its is important to create leaflets and posters because it tells people how donating will help someone. |
5.4 Donations..
Last Tuesday we didn't get any donations so we are going to try and aim our campaign at teachers/adults because students dont seem very up for giving any donations. We are putting up posters over the school, particuly in the staff room, giving them flyers and giving a note to teachers to read out in form tim, so they will al be informed about it and hoepfully help us.

History of shoes in Norwich..
Startrite Shoes;
Startrite shoes started in 1792, the beggining of shoe making in Norwich, and is still where the headquaters is based today. James Smith was a leather worker based in a small shop behind Norwich market.
In the 19th century, James Smith’s grandson Charles Winter had inherited his commercial flair, and became the first shoemaker to use the newly invented sewing machine in the manufacture of his footwear.
Following the Great War, shoe making, along with many other industries, suffered from a lack of skilled workers and investment. Despite this, James Southall, Charles Winter’s grandson by marriage, forged ahead and opened a new and up-to-date factory on the outskirts of Norwich. Southalls began to produce footwear for children which had an entirely different shape to that made for adults, allowing room for growth. The name "Start-rite" was first used in the early 1920s by Quant & Son, a shoe retailer in Bury St Edmunds and purchased by Southalls for exclusive use in 1921. The decision was also taken at this time to concentrate on marketing and selling products, with investment in advertising and the recruitment of the company’s first London-based sales rep. Having picked up on public concerns about healthcare and particularly children’s fitted footwear, more emphasis was placed on the company’s newest children’s brand "Start-rite" with the appointment of a dedicated production manager. Southalls was the first footwear manufacturer to make a practical contribution to the prevention of damage to young feet.
In 1928, the company commissioned an investigation into schoolchildren’s feet to confirm their belief that children should be catered for differently to adults.
In 1936, the iconic twins were first famously reproduced in a series of posters and press adverts which ran through the late ’30s and ’40s, the brand is still recognised today featured at the heart of the Start-rite logo as the hallmark of well-fitted, quality shoes for children.
By the 1940s, Start-rite shoes were in such high demand that retailers were limited to strict quotas of supplies.
In 1943, James Hanly, then chairman, commissioned a nationwide survey of children’s feet with the help of medical research experts, schools and health authorities. 450 children had their feet measured and tabulated. The results proved that, whilst Start-rite shoes were better for children’s development than other brands, there was further scope for additional improvements, notably shoes which would allow tiny feet to grow through to late teenage years without damage, and the need for the shoes to be fitted by trained people.
In 1952, the company took the brave decision to stop manufacturing adult footwear and concentrate purely on children’s needs and the Start-rite brand. Huge investment was made into special lasts specifically for children’s sizes, available in multiple width fittings, and based on the natural shape of a child’s foot. The company also introduced a "heel stiffener" to help with balance and growth.
Start-rite shoes achieved another first when, as supplier of footwear to the Windsor children, it was granted the Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth in 1955.
By 1966, the Start-rite brand was so important to Southalls as a business that the decision was taken to officially adopt Start-rite as the trading name. As a result, both the business and brand are known as Start-rite today, although the parent company remains James Southall Ltd and both names are proudly displayed outside the Norwich head office.
The Prince of Wales granted a second Royal Warrant from 1989 until 2003 by which time Princes William and Harry had literally outgrown the brand. In all, children of the Royal family have been fitted with over 1500 pairs of Start-rite shoes.
In 1997 the Rhino sub-brand was introduced. Aimed specifically at slightly older schoolchildren, these designs recognise the increasing influence of children themselves in their parents’ purchasing. Combining the superior quality and multiple width fittings for which Start-rite is renowned, with designs for a more fashion-conscious wearer in mind, Rhino and Miss Rhino have allowed the business to expand its important Back to School offer and continue to provide Start-rite consumers with choice throughout their formative years.

5.3 My day out in Wymondham..
Today we took a trip into Wymondham town centre, we visted our Book shop and our Charity shop.
First we went to the but shop as part of our artefact project, we found out that the shop (The Book Fountaion) sells a variety of books including; childrens books, study books and teenage books. The shop owner had been working there for five years but he said the previous owner had had the shop for around 12 years. All the books are from Britain and his suppliers are from Norwich and Sussex. We video the interview and took some pictures.
Next we went to the Charity shop (break childrens hospice) where we interviewed a few of the shop workers and were given some leaflets and information to help us with our campaign project. We also took some pictures of the stock.
We also have a video to upload on here that will give more information.
