We made some pencil holders out of clay today.
First we got used to the clay by banging, rolling and pinching it. Then we made a big ball and a small ball. We pushed the big ball into the table to get a flat bottom on it. Next we got some water and used a crosshatch design to try to help the head stick firmly onto the body. At this stage we drew in our lovely happy faces, and put the patterns on their backs.
We left our happy ladybugs by the radiator and we hope that they will be dry by next week so we can paint them.
As a class we decided that the world needed a bit of cheering up, so they all have really happy faces!
We hope you like them.
UPDATE: We finished our lady bugs today. We painted them a different colour for each group.
We think they look seriously cool.... :)
