Our Y2 pupils enjoyed a sculpture workshop where they had to create an igloo type structure as part of their topic. Using a variety of tools, the children had to cut, bend and beat the metal to form the shapes they needed.

We had to work well together. On the machines you needed one person to hold the work steady while the other person turned the handle. When we were weaving the metal we had to talk to each other to say where it would go.

The Arctic theme gave the children plenty of ideas for their drawings. Once they had sketched out their idea on a piece of paper, the children had to make a wire copy.

We did this by cutting and bending the wire and sticking it to our piece of paper. Maisie helped me because the cutters were quite hard to press shut.

Once the 1.6mm soft aluminium wire was fixed with tape the children got to use the mallets!
Bashing the metal with the hammer was my favourite part. It was hard to keep going because my arm started to ache.

Once they had imprinted their design onto the metal with the rubber hammer the pupils fixed the aluminium sheet design onto the igloo sculpture.
