Everyone in Room 18 has been working hard to make a Christmas present for their family. This year, we sneakily started four weeks ago. We made mushrooms out of clay and then left them to dry out for three weeks, cunningly hidden on the top of our tall classroom cupboards.
After they had been fired in the kiln, we painted them. We painted them with a white undercoat first; then we painted the gills on the underside of the mushroom. Finally, we painted the caps in different colours.
It was fun to position them under the oak tree in the junior playground and see them sprout. On the last day of school, we made gift tags for them and attached them to the stems to take them home for Christmas presents.
