Last Day!

Today is the last day of the cow and emotions are running high as everyone hurries to finish everything on time. Blossom looks amazing with the bridge and the street sign. Everyone has been working very hard and the support of the teachers has been appreciated. To see the cow finished and finally completed has been great. It’s taken a lot of time and effort from everyone which has helped with what we believe is a Crestwood interpretation.

Last Week

This week is crunch time with the due date for Blossom vastly approaching. With plenty of work still needed it will definitely be a big week ahead for all the members of the Archibull. Today the whole day has been dedicated to the Archibull competition in which a lot has been achieved. With a large area constantly getting finished the changes seen in the pictures are amazing everyone. With plenty of ideas zooming around the excitement of Blossom coming to an end is evident. With the help from peers and teachers different ideas have been incorporated into our quickly changing cow.  The development of the bridge and sign has helped with the overall picture and the conjunction of both sides. We all look forward to Friday to see the final result.

Second Last Week

It’s the second last week of Archibull and things are getting hectic. With the help of our fellow peers, the number of hands have increased and our cow Blossom is slowly starting to blossom.  Yes, we have finally thought of the name for our cow, after much debating where names such as, Sheryl, Shirley and Helen were brought up and tossed back during the weeks of Archibull.
Sheina has finally come in after fighting the flu and has started to build the bridge. This bridge brings our two sides of the cow together, creating a full picture.

Sheina, happy and working hard
There were times of tension due to the clash of ideas but we understood that everyone was trying to do what was best for the cow.
We have changed many parts of our cow, for example the sky which was patched up by our friend Natasha. If you looked at the before pictures and then at the after pictures of Blossom you would not even be able to recognise her!
As the due date of our cow is nearing, we try to make the best of every second. Our advisor Miss Mcloughlin has been working very hard behind and on the scenes, arranging time schedules and providing us we art equipment. Thank you Miss Mcloughlin!
