The children of Ash, Birch and Willow class have been applying their sculpting skills today in Art by creating pots in the style of those found in the Stone Age.
After carefully planning their designs, they molded the air drying clay to the shape they wanted their pot to be.
Intense concentration was needed to ensure their pattern was exactly as they had planned.
In order to create their patterns, they investigated what people of the Stone Age might have used to create their designs. They left the classroom and went on a hunt outside for a range of organic objects to use. These included: twigs, shells and different types of rock- including slate!
Once the classes had decided on what they were going to use to etch on their pattern, they made a start.
Some children found this process rather difficult as they were putting their fine motor skills to the test.
"I found it challenging to keep my hand still whilst etching on my pattern." Trinity, Birch class.
The finished products were pretty incredible! What do you think?
Great work Year 3!
