3L – We made a Clay Tile of a Victorian House

We put 2 sticks either side of our clay and rolled it forwards with a rolling pin, until it was the same thickness as the sticks.
We then cut it into a rectangular shape and used the scratch and slip method to attach the roof.
Next, we added the features of the house.

Finally, we added the detail of the brickwork and the roof tiles. We used clay tiles to create the different textures.

Our tiles are now ready to be fired in a kiln.

Red Class showed racism the red card

Today we showed that we will stand up to racism. We wore red clothes, or ribbons, or shoes, or hats to show our support in showingthe red card. We think we look great in red clothes-Red Class.

We revisited our Black History Month inspiring heroes. Look back at the blog and see what you remember.

Next we are looking forward to delicious cakes at the end of the day.

Have a lovely half-term from Red Class.
