After a few weeks working in the 2D with drawing and painting, Y4 were very excited to be working in three dimensions this week. After looking closely at leaves previously, children were tasked with making different leaf sculptures from aluminium mesh.

This was a satisfying material to work with and was very easy to cut and shape into different forms. The finished pieces were mounted to mimic specimens in a museum or scientific collection and look fantastic in our pod!

Maycie-Leigh and Eva working on their sculptures – we may have had a few pricked fingers!
