Term 4 -Week 6

Room 9 has just started working with clay. We learnt the skill of joining clay pieces together by making coil pots. First we rolled some clay out flat and cut a circle for the base. Next we rolled the clay between our hands to make sauasages. We had to try and make our sausages even in diameter. Then we coiled them around the base. To join the coils together we roughed up the surface of the clay with a toothbrush and dipped our finger in water and ran it over the top. The clay then acted like a glue. We carefully joined out
coils together. When they were dry we pained them in a bright
colour. Take a look!
