Toy- Reflection
Struggling with making my toy for my assignment, Im not as creative as I initially thought and havent done any form of painting before. So far so good and my ideas seem to be coming together. Ive experienced a few problems with working out which materials are best to paint on to make my toy(boardgame). The pics attached show my progress so far.
Project Progress
So far my ICT project has been mainly cutting and sticking but now I have moved on to including more facts and references. I can see the whole idea coming together and finding more ways for it to branch off. My intial idea was "What is Beauty" this then branced off to different forms of beauty in different countries, also about pressures and influences in the media. After further research I found a website that discuesses beauty throughout the times
I adapted information from this website and adding additional facts and opinions. Im considering using this as an element of my final piece.

20inch waist: Attractive?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2096377/The-human-hourglass-The-Romanian-model-just-20-INCH-waist.html
Is this a good look?
Within the fashion industry models are getting thinner and thinner. This link above is an article on a Romanian model with a 20 inch waist, giving the girl an "hourglass figure".
Is this the kind of thing we want the future generations to aspire to look like; surely there are health repercussions to come along with such a small waist.

Guest Speaker- Governor
Guest Speaker Steve Gullen- Governors Role
On the 23rd of January 2012 we had a guest speaker to educate us on who governors are, what they do, and how they are elected.
A Governors role is to run a school. The governing body is made up of; parents, LEAs, teachers, pupils and members of the community. The head teacher is automatically a Governor but they can choose to take a step back and not participate.
Every 4 years there is an election. To be elected votes are cast, teachers will vote teachers, parents with vote parents and soforth. LEAs and elected by the council and no votes are cast.
The community governors are people which have no attachement to the school, they are people who live in the community and just have a sense of pride regarding how well their local school does.
It is more important for them to be interested and to care about the school that to be experts on education.
I found the lecture interesting and very informative and has made me look into becoming a governor myself for my local school. I am now looking into finding out more.....

After following up my reasearch I have found out social services have been involved and are taking action against the mother.....

Plastic surgery is becoming an addiction and that addiction is now affecting todays youth. If you click on the link below you will see a clip of the self proclaimed "Human Barbie". She has spent over £500,000 on cosmetic surgery and now has her "enhancements" done free of charge as long as she recommends the surgeon. What is the world coming to???
