My wife told me that the award they use for the best attendance had fallen apart.
Now in all honesty I'm not a massive fan of attendance awards, I feel that a lot of luck is needed to be well all the time, and I doubly think this when we have a a child with a disability. But the schools have targets to hit and I don't think it would be unfair of me to say that some parents let their child have a day off for anything. Growing up it felt like we would have to loose a foot to get a day off school!
But I said I'd make her a new one, and then once I made one she said that the other half of the school would be sad theirs didn't look so nice - I should have known to make 2 from the start.
But I think as a pair they look really nice, they're both made from 50mm sycamore (so they can't be used as throwing stars) and I hand carved the wording and the design around the outside. Then treated with Briwax to help pick out the detail on the small letters.
What do you think?
