Would it be possible for you to share the following information with parents/carers via any methods you use (social media, e-mail etc)

1 Red are going potty!

13th October 2022L Chisholm

As part of our ‘Happily Ever After’ theme we decided that our favourite story character would benefit from a pot to keep their favourite item safe eg. Cinderella could keep her jewelery in or Granny could keep her biscuits in it to hide them from The Big Bad Wolf. We used clay and made a thumb pot.  We looked at how to pinch, mould and manipulate our clay to make our desired shape.  We then used a range of tools to ‘score’ our clay to make it patterned.
