Digging into Clay

Liam thought that making clay was fun because he liked squishing it and making it into a pot. He liked the coils and the designs he created.
We all thought he should become a real potter.

Gabriel thought it was hard to make a pot at first. He rolled up some of the clay to make the coils. He carefully put the coils on top of the base. He thought his coil pot was beautiful because it looks great, inside of the pot and on the outside of it.

Jah-Royal added spirals to the top of his pot. All of the pots had interesting designs and were made strong by using thick clay and joining them carefully.









Melissa made spirals for her first one. Then for her second one she watched how Rongomai did a love heart and had a go at making one too. She likes working with clay because she can make different designs and different shapes.

Jenna loved making the pot because it was a bit of a challenge. It was hard to make the outside and it was hard to make the base and try and make it strong. She liked her finished pot because she really liked the shape of it.

Tominiko liked doing clay because he liked making different shapes. He thought his finished pot looked like it was about to break so he tried to fix it. It was an interesting shape, a bit like a diamond or a rectangle.
