Just heard about a grand =22millennium project=22 by a school in Portsmouth.
Everyone who attends (children, teachers, parents, adults, night classes) =
has to
make a ceramic leaf with a hole in big enough for a fairly strong thread. =
All
the leafs are then going to be tied to a bare tree outside the school for =
the
New Year.

I thought this was a pretty good group project. The only real problem I =
foresee,
is when all those leaves are to be claimed by their various makers=21=21 I =
have seen
this happen with a class full of children, but a whole school full fighting =
over
whose is whose is a fairly breath taking concept =3Cg=3E

Janet Kaiser, who knows how difficult it is to plot work on a =22grand =
plan=22...
Now, where did tile =23512 go?
