Well we've just finished school for the summer here in sunny Wales. One of my final projects for the year was a prop for the end of year Liturgy - The Calming of the Storm. The whole school walked to Church to celebrate with the Liturgy performance led by our Year 5.
I had 2 days to make a boat (lol). Resourceful cheap as ever, it was made from a couple of cardboard boxes, amply stuck together with packing tape, then covered with a layer of newspaper. The weather held off just long enough to paint it with a mixture of paint and pva glue.
Some details added for the wood effect. Luckily I had my groupies - a gaggle of 6 year old girls who follow me around the classroom salivating like vultures, eagerly waiting for me to choose them to help me with the odd art project. I set them to work on adding sequins to the waves which were printed using polystyrene, and printing fish.

Printed waves, cut out and mounted onto silver paper.
I added fabric waves using a mixture of greens and blues which were pinned onto a large sheet. Two pupils waved it about during the storm. Two others waved a white sheet for the wind.
