Getting creative with clay

Inspired by our research yesterday, Giraffes had a creative morning making their clay sculptures. We learnt how to fix all the elements of our design together really securely and by the end of the morning, everyone was very proud of their finished work. 

From their responses, it is safe to say that they really enjoyed working with clay.  

                 "Can we do this every day?"

          " When can we make more sculptures?"

Once they are dry, we can paint the sculptures, ready for the school art exhibition.







Well done to all the children who helped clean up the classroom too. Great job!

Enjoying a welcome snack break, we listened and watched out for curlews, skylarks, blackbirds, buzzards and crickets.  We spotted many wild flowers too.

Adventurous activity 1: Let's try abseiling

Image
For our first activity, we headed back towards Taddington and the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale - familiar territory for us. We exchanged tales of walking, cycling and pony rides down the trail.  None of us have abseiled before, so we're not quite sure what to expect. We listened carefully before getting our harnesses on.  The instructor checked we were all safely buckled up and ready to go. Hmm...some slightly worried looks.  Here we go. Who's brave enough to go first? The bridge over the River Wye is 80 feet high and the first challenge is to climb over the railings.  We did it!  Now we can relax.
