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 techniques, they prodded, poked and squidged various bits and pieces (supplied by Worcester Resource Exchange WRE) into the clay. If you’ve never visited WRE – its an Aladdin’s cave of extraordinary stuff – end of roll/off cuts etc supplied by industry and businesses – usually destined for landfill. It’s a fantastic resource for teachers, artists and families – well worth a visit! http://www.wre.co.uk/
