Clay Pots
In our novel The Boy with the Bronze Axe, we have been learning about the different jobs and skills people had in the stone age. They made their pots from clay and were skilled pottery makers who created pots and added decorations to their design.Â
We became potters for the afternoon. We used air dry clay and shaped and decorated our pots.

We have been creating art using different media. This week we experimented with salt art. We learned  that the salt quickly absorbed the water colours and spread along the line of salt. Our finished thistles look fantastic.
