Today we worked with clay - some of us for the first time. Jac had rolled out some flat pieces of clay for us and then showed us how to put these together in order to make the base for our ships we shall be displaying in Whitehaven Library. It was rather difficult and not all of us made a ship but Jac had brought little clay stamps and we were able to use these to make patterns and repeat patterns in the clay. There were alphabet stamps too! Once the clay has totally dried, Jac told us that she will put them into a kiln following which we shall be able to paint these. We shall be painting fabric for the sails too.
Chloe with Trade Triangle ship display On the 17th September, we went to Carlisle to meet with our friends in Creative Conversations again. We practiced singing Poverty Poverty Knock and learned a new song to sing about working in the mines. The following day we all met at Whitehaven Library for our opening event at 1 o'clock. Jac and Katie had set up two wonderful displays to show our fantastic work. We all sang our songs and got a loud round of applause! We then had juice and biscuits and were able to talk to our friends and families about what we had produced for our exhibition. Well done everyone - all your hard work has paid off and your exhibition is just amazing!
