Halloween!

Finally the aforementioned flat building day was taking place. Being as it was Halloween there were some students in costumes. One student in first hour was wearing a long trench coat so he looked like he was going as a streaker. No he did have clothes on underneath but not a whole lot, hence the coat (I think he was wearing a kids version of Robyn from Batman). The aide was a bumble bee. There were other students who applied make up to be zombies or vampires.

In this first hour class, since it is larger, not everyone was able to go up on the stage to work on either building or covering their flats. One group worked on finishing the construction of their flat while two other groups were working on measuring out the fabric (muslin) to go on the frames. This class only had time for a pseudo-demonstration before the period was over. The teacher didn't want to actually completely demonstrate because he wanted the students to do it themselves to gain the knowledge and experience.

He was using proper and correct terminology throughout the entire process.
