Year 5 South American clay animal sculptures

A huge well done to our Year 5 pupils for their incredible South American clay animal sculptures!

Our school library has been looking like a tropical rainforest, but the exhibition has now come to a close. These sculptures should have officially "migrated" home in school bags for pupils to enjoy.
