This term, some of our older children have been attending pottery classes each Monday afternoon. The children have walked down Selwyn Street to Celia's home where she has a studio set up for pottery. The children have enjoyed this experience and each week they have made a variety of things from the clay. Some of these creations have included, ladybirds, turtles and snails. The children have been shown how to manipulate the clay and use a type of clay glue to attach arms, legs etc. They have also been introduced to different tools that help add texture to their work.
The children have thoroughly enjoyed learning the process of pottery and Celia has 'fired' their work each week, so they all have some memories of their pottery adventures.
