Year 1 experiment with clay!

Year 1 have been learning all about Florence Nightingale during English and IPC lessons. We know that one of the most well known facts about her is that she is known as 'The lady of the lamp'. 

Taking inspiration from this, we made our own tea light holders out of clay! We discussed how we could use utensils such as rolling pins, plastic scalpels and cutters and boards to help us create our designs. We used our hands to carefully pinch, stretch, fold and smooth the clay to make our lamps. 

We worked extremely hard and are really excited to paint our lamps later this week!
