As mentioned in a previous post, the Preps, Grade 1s and Grade 2s have been enjoying creating with clay these past few weeks. In fact, the whole school has been modelling with clay this term!
We experimented with modelling slabs, adding texture to the clay, rolling spheres and coils as well as using the method of scoring (scratching) the clay and using slip (watery clay) to join pieces.
Students were given the choice of adding pipecleaners as antennae and making their butterfly into a wall hanging. They really want to bring these home asap, so I will have to make do with taking photos for a display! They can't wait to show you their masterpieces!
