In the junk modelling area today, we were making bottle sculptures. First, we got some inspiration from a video to help spark our imagination. Â We then chose our bottle and thought about what our inspiration was.
âI think mine should look like a rocket with red fireâ âI want mine to be sparkly like a fairyâ âIâm making mine blue like the skyâ
We then used a paper plate for the base and then secured the plate to the bottle with masking tape. â
The children then gathered the resources they needed to make their amazing creations. They explored the resources and problem solved which type of adhesives would work best. âIâm using this tape as itâs the best to stick the bottle onto the plateâ âI will tie my sparkly blue ribbon around the bottleâ. âIâm using the plasticine to stick the tissue paper onâ.
The children used lots of descriptive language to describe what they were doing âIâm scrunching the tissue paper up small to fit on the top of my bottleâ. â Iâm using the hole puncher the heart one to make my plate prettyâ
When the children were finished making their creations, they wanted to display them in the studio. Good job everyone what beautiful sculptures you have made.
