  Recycling and Reusing For this project, I used: Sandpaper 3 x Tin Cans Newspaper Acrylic paints Paintbrushes Pencil/Stencil White Paper Glue Stick Important - Before starting on the upcycling, I needed to make sure that I rounded off all of the sharp edges on each tin can to ensure that they were safe to use. Safety comes first when using materials.  Having cleaned out each of the three tin cans, and removed the outside wrapping, I glued a piece of white paper to one of the tin cans to act as the base of my design - I could have used white paint to create the same effect.  Before opening the paints, I made sure that I set up an area where I could lay down some newspaper and work cleanly.  On each tin can, I created a unique and original design dependent on the colours I had available to me at home during lockdown.

  Today I have chosen the quote: “ He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”  -  Muhammad Ali 2. Underline any unknown words. 3. Look up words in dictionary, write in your book. Courageous – not deterred by danger or pain; brave. Accomplish – achieve or complete successfully. 4. I think this quote means…… that courage was needed to take bold risks, and significant accomplishments required these daring risks.  5. Look up the speaker of the quote, write down a few facts about them – try for at least 3 interesting facts. He has been married four times and has nine children. He Died: June 3, 2016, in Arizona. He was a professional boxer – career spanning for 21 years. Muhammad Ali retired from boxing in 1981 à aged 39. 6. Look up another quote by the speaker. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”. “Do not count the days, make the days count”.
