Cherry Orchard Aliens

Had a lovely couple of days working with Year 1 and Reception children at Cherry Orchard Primary School in Worcester.

'Earth and beyond' provided the inspiration for some amazing clay aliens. Once the children had constructed their aliens using pinch pot teqniques, they prodded, poked and squidged various bits and peices (supplied by Worcester Resource Exchange WRE) into the clay. If you've never visited WRE - its an aladins cave of extroadinary stuff - end of roll/off cuts etc supplied by industry and businesses - usually destined for landfill. It's a fantastic resourse for teachers, artists and families - well worth a visit! http://www.wre.co.uk/
