We divided a slab of clay into two sections, one for the next and the other for the bird, eggs, and flowers. The children created the nest by using a pinch pot method. The birds were created by pinching, the eggs by rolling, and the flowers by rolling clay into a worm, flattening it, and coiling it up. Instead of trying to attach it up we put them in individually labelled plastic bags and waited for next week.
The clay kept nicely and we were able to scratch attach the pieces without too much of a problem. I wasn't at school for one of the 'attaching' days but thankfully my sub is a pro at clay and the projects came out just fine.
Next time to fire at cone 06, glaze, and fire again! Some of the birds fell off but we just glue them back on.
