Default A bit of a laugh today

Today a couple of young fellas in my year 4 class needed to make a prop of a car for a play they have coming up later on in the week. I showed them a picture of my Shockwave blue XR6 and told them that I would give them an 'A' if they could make their prop look like my car.

So what do you think? Do they get the 'A'



On a side note I feel that I have fulfilled my duty as an educator by ensuring young Australians fall into the right camp. The Ford camp.

The way he thinks is the way we were all encouraged to think in the past.
Unfortunately these days, you are more likely to be reprimanded because that is not specifically part of the curriculum.

That shockwave looks exactly like it does on some Falcs I've seen on the road. The consistency and patchiness are 100%...good job by the kiddos

Spray the model with some high pressure water.......if the paint flakes off like it should.....give em an A++
