working with clay

We read a story about Diwali. During Diwali little Divas are made to hold candles. We made our own little divas out of clay. We then painted a pattern on the outside. We love our little divas!
Rolling the clay into a ball was quite tricky as the clay was hard!

We dipped our fingers into water so that we could smooth over the cracks in the clay.

We made a hole in the middle of the ball with our thumb.









More fun with repeating patterns

We rolled different coloured plasticine into a repeating pattern.

Repeating Patterns

Pop Pop Popcorn!

  It was a pop pop pop popcorn kind of day on Friday! First we decorated our boxes. Next we cut and folded our boxes, we had to think carefu...
