Langley Room

In Langley this week we have been experiencing the wonderful texture and consistency of clay. The children have discovered ways of manipulating the clay with their hands, pop sticks, tooth picks, clay tools and hammers.

‘It feels like glue,’ commented Seb R.

‘It feels like mud. I made a table,’ said Priyanka as she rolled the clay into a ball and stuck pop sticks into it.

‘It’s squishy,’ observed Alec.

‘Mmmm… smells nice. Hands are sticky,’ thought Stella.

‘It’s soft,’ described Abhi.
‘It’s too sticky,’ stated Marcus.

‘I doing hammering in the nails. The cutting makes stripes,’ explained Seb V.

‘Look me, I making holes,’ commented Eden.
