When Our Group Won Going For Gold 

This report was written by Year 6 pupils

Going for Gold is a fun activity that comes to visit St John’s about 3 times a year. We learn business skills and usually do arts and crafts to make a product which we have to sell or display, just like a real business. When Going for Gold visited our school early this year, and this time we had to make sandals and get someone from our groups to be the model. We measured around the models feet and then used patterns and materials to make the shoes look good for the people watching the fashion show. Using paper we made straps which we decorated and stapled or glued to the sandal. We had to make sure that the sandals fitted the models feet and that the staples didn’t poke out and be dangerous for the model. It was a lot of fun making the sandals!My group, whose sandals where called Sadida Sandals, were the winners of Going for Gold. The groups earned points for good behavior, being quiet when told and not always getting out of our seats, but the decision was made from the fashion show at the end, which was very funny! Our model wore are sandals up and down the cat walk (the hall) and showed off our designs, while we held up our poster. At the end, after a bit of deciding, we were crowned the winners of the Cobblers activity. Our photo was taken and we were given Going for Gold certificates. I thought the activity was very fun and although it was hard work, I would love to do it again!
