Anglo Saxon Clay

Posted on by

Anglo Saxon huts made by KS1 children from Finstall First School WorcestershireThe Anglo Saxons are definitely a hot curriculum topic for KS 1&2. In past week we have led Anglo Saxon inspired clay projects with no less than three schools.

Staunton on Wye Primary School in Herefordshire made a couple of collaborative planters, encrusted with Anglo Saxon insignia and detail. Swords, shields, houses and long boats were well represented amongst the children’s models attached to the surface of a giant coil pot.

Ethan made the trip to Finstall first School in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire to work with Class 4, making individual iron age houses. (above)

Eastnor Primary will also be making the short stroll up the lane to the Pottery to sample the delights of building mini iron age huts.

CLAY! – for all your Anglo Saxon curriculum needs

Pottery Tiles made with Eastnor Pottery and Woodlands Infant Primary School   Clay spiders crawling over tile panel piece with Eastnor Pottery

Jon the Potter is a regular artist in residence at Woodlands Infants School in Shirley, working with the two form entry year groups.

On the 18th October Jon made a timely trip to the school to help YR1 make autumn leaves for their impressive ceramic wall mural.

The children rolled out the clay tiles, shaped their leaf, added bugs, flowers and snails before painting their creations in russet browns and autumnal yellows and pinks.

Previously, the children had created an oak tree and with a fantastic ‘green-man’ aloft in the canopy. (above & below) The latest leafy tiles will be fired, glazed and mounted at the foot of the tree.
