Building Character...s

Many thanks to Anthony, yet another skilled parent helper, for coming in to share his knowledge of character making using modelling clay.  Today the children had a choice between clothing and painting wire characters or forming their characters using clay.  Anthony and Cheryl gave a lesson on each and our inquiry groups chose which material they would like to use and therefore which lesson to watch.

We all learned a lot and over the next week will put this new knowledge to the test to see if we can use the skills we have been shown to create our own characters.

Here are some photos from today's, shall we say, character building lesson!
