Ytong Project

As part of project week, we took the class out to meet up with the guy who led the stone age project.  This time he showed us how to sculpt from a product called Ytong.  I can't find a translation for the word as it's a brand name but basically it's like a chalky breeze block.  As our project topic is pets, we all made a fish each and some then did extra sculptures.
As a teacher, it was really nice to take a step back and let him lead the group but the best part for me was getting creative for myself.  I find it really relaxing.  You can get Ytong from most DIY shops so I may do some more of this in my own time in future.
