This bank holiday clay modelling session evolved from a thumb-pot, to a dog’s bowl, to a tortoise with a bowl on its back, to a giant tortoise carrying a person on its back!

Musical transport

For the past three weeks in Design & Technology club, the children’s challenge has been to design and make a scooter. Of course, Dylan decided he wanted to make one that was also a stringed instrument. Apparently it took most of the first session to explain it to the teacher, and convince her that it WOULD fulfil the brief and be a scooter.
It actually looks a bit like a Segway…

Pimp my ride
April 30, 2013
It’s a car [top]. I’m not very good at drawing cars.
Leo is a champion drawer at cars. So I thought if I ask him to draw me a race car, that would be pretty good [bottom].
It’s got engines with fire!

Santa delivers on foot – Dec 2012
D: It’s Father Christmas, and they’re the houses he’s going to.

Flash wheels
October 20, 2012
Me: Did you have a good ‘Wheels Day’ at school? Did you manage to unfold your scooter?
D: Yes – and when I made the lights flash, everybody came around – I had to show it to ONE HUNDRED children!
Me: Wow, that’s a lot of children.
D: Well it was less than one hundred really – thirty, it was. No… forty.
Me: That’s a bit different to one hundred!
D: And I didn’t show it to myself, that would just be silly – I already know how it works – so it was… two-ty… twenty… twenty-two.
