Year 3 Plastazote Workshop
Fri 22 Mar 2019Year 3 had a fun packed day today during their Plastazote workshop. Plastazote is a smart material. It is safe, non-toxic polyethylene foam, available in bright A4 coloured sheets. It can be cut with scissors, marked with felt tip, combined, joined, embossed and painted. Its real impact is when it is moulded into fantastic shapes. The children have been designing and creating their own Plastazote model which is linked in with our Roald Dhal topic of creating an imaginative book character. Thank you to the parent helpers for helping with this workshop.
