Last week we visted Eastleigh College, to work with their Skills for Working Life students. After meeting the group and explaining how the Scrapstore works, the students were able to rummage in several large crates of assorted scrap as part of
a Scrap Challenge model making afternoon.
This included bottle tops, plastic buttons, old foam, cardboard tubes and a whole range of unidentifiable bits and pieces. The Students thoroughly enjoyed the activity, each creating their own unique sculpture. Creations included robots, rabbits, cats, phones, and even a camera!
The whole session was recorded by the College's marketing department and is currently featured on their website with the following quote,
"Enrichment activities such as this allow students to develop their creativity, communication and confidence"
The group were also very interested in the upcoming learning disability club night that we are putting on at Eastleigh Football Club. We have already arranged a return visit on November 11th so the group can help design artwork for the event, and choose music for it.
