masks & tiles

The y4's have been busy completing their papier mâché 'Aztec masks'.


And the y3's have finished painting their ceramic tiles.

mosaics

Y4 have been completing their mosaic pieces by grouting them. 



Once they've dried we'll seal them with a coat of PVA. The idea is to use/give them as coasters.

In Y6 we have created frontispieces for future Father's day cards, in the style of Paul klee.
 
 

Whilst in Y4 we completed our mosaics by grouting in between the tiles.


A damp sponge wiped off the excess. When dry, we'll give them a protective coat of PVA.

greek & roman

In Y4 we began to create our mosaics following on from last weeks designs. We are using small reconstituted tiles (as our tesserae) that can be cut (carefully) with scissors and glued into place with ordinary PVA glue. Once they are complete and dry we'll grout them.
 


In Y3 we have decorated our 'Ancient Greek' coil pots. We used sharpies so as to get a better and finer line. We might PVA threm to seal everything together, we might not!
