Room 6 made clay creations. First we cut and modelled the clay into a bird to do with our topic, Naturally New Zealand. Then we left them to dry for a few days.

Next we painted them colours  of brown, black, blue, yellow, green and purple. After that they were fired and glazed. We now have  them at home.

On Thursday 6th June, Kathy. came and showed us how to make birds out of clay.

Before we started, she told us what to do, and what not to do.

do not let the clay get wet, for example, otherwise it won't keep its shape.

Also, you have to scratch lines into the clay when you want to stick things on, such as wings.
