Over the last two weeks, children in Year R have been given the choice of making either a magic wand or an ice lolly from a **range of art materials**. Some attempted to draw out shapes using a **stencil** but all cut out their own star or lolly from card. They attached a lolly pop stick to the card with **sticky tape** and secured a **pipe cleaner** around the stick by **bending and twisting** the wire. They cut their own foam shapes and worked with small sequins when decorating their work using **PVA glue** (encouraged to use a small about of glue and to be patient while their work dried). Who needs a Pritt-stick? Throughout the lesson, all children explored new media and tools while practising their **fine motor skills**. Joining materials continues throughout term 3.
