As part of our Victorian topic, we have been examining the buildings  in our local environment. We began by looking carefully at houses, noticing some of the features that make Victorian buildings distinctive.

The children then used their observational drawings as inspiration to create their very own Victorian house tiles out of clay. They carefully shaped the clay, adding details and textures to bring their house designs to life.

There was some fantastic attention to detail, we thought carefully about windows, doors, chimneys and other features of Victorian homes.

Once our tiles have dried, they will be fired in the kiln. This will harden the clay and prepare our creations for their next stage. We can't wait to see the finished results!
