Italian wood crafts

Our pupils used wood to make different objects: trays, jewel boxes, paintings, little boxes, etc


They learned to work wood and produced decoupage, because it can be useful for their future working-life.

Pupils chose to work with rough objects using the technique of decoupage.

Teachers brought some different wood materials and paper for decoupage.

Pupils decorated them using colour paints, vinyl glue, scissors and brushes of various sizes.

Pupils who took part in this activity have got big difficulties and therefore they are unable to use hand tools in a proper way.

They could only decorate rough wood.

Crafts of pupils from Spain

In the school of Sta Teresa we have done an activity with pegs.

On our first presentation we talked about our city, León, and its important monuments. Due to it, we decided to make a model of the cathedral and other important building (Botines, designed by Gaudi) with pegs. So the rest of Comenius participants learn a little more Leon, our city. 

León Cathedral (Catedral de Santa María de Regla de León) is a French-style Gothic cathedral built in the13th century over the ruins of ancient Roman baths.

Intricately carved portals, glorious rose windows, one of the oldest choirs in the country, and beautiful sculptures such as the Virgen de la Esperanza are just a few of the cathedral's many impressive features.

Gaudí started the project of this building in 1891 commissioned by the fabric merchants of León. These business men had a relationship with the Catalan textile sector. Actually it was one of these Catalan business men, Carlos Güell, who recommended Gaudí as possible designer for the new Leonese textile headquarters. The result was a modernist building with a Medieval look. All business activity was carried out on the ground floors. The upper floors were reserved for residences. The building was declared a Historic Monument in 1969. Today it is the social headquarters of Caja España.

The students who have made this construction are or the sixth level , primary upper students, those who are going to Italy in February. We used paper to make the stained windows- typical of these kinds of monuments.

We have enjoyed carrying out this activity and we hope you will like it!
