Clay aliens!

As part of our space topic, Year 6 have been making clay aliens! Firstly, we carried out research into what our aliens could look like and drew some designs. We thought about the different clay techniques we could use such as rolling, making a pinch pot and scratch and slurry.

Research and drawing designs:

When they are ready, we will paint our aliens.

Blog club blogs

Our blog club blogs are finally available for you to take a look at!

These were designed and created by the children in Blog club last term. They decided what they would like to blog about based on things that they are interested in.

They learnt how to post, upload photographs, add polls and even embed videos using HTML codes!
Take a look by visiting the Blog Club blog (the link is at the top of this page).

All content on the blogs is updated and monitored by the children and their parents, so if you see anything that you think is inappropriate, please let me (Mrs McDonald) know straight away!
