Reception Clay Bog Baby Models and Habitats

Date: 11th Jun 2024 @ 11:21am

Reception have been reading the story 'Bog Baby'.  As part of our art work all the children made their own clay model of the Bog Baby.  the children looked carefully at the different features of the Bog Baby including his big googley eyes, long spikey tail and little mouse like ears.  The children explored the clay using their hands to manipulate the shape and size.  They used the teachniques of slip, score and blend to successfully attach the different parts to their model.  When the models had dried the child painted them carefully.  Every child made their own home for the Bog Baby which they used a range of different materials from the create area.

"The water helped the clay to stick together" Mathew.

"Yo have to blend it properly or the tail will fall off" Elisha.
