Let’s go deep into the Rainforest and learn about the different types of wildlife, conditions and locations. We’ll look into ways we can help protect the environment around us and our Rainforests. We’ll also head deep into the Amazon and learn about Yanomami, a rich culture touched by the effects of climate change. Our activity will focus on making animals, plants, and fruits out of clay and we will make the rain forest background in papier-mâché.

Climate changed? why? Rainforest areas in the world and why are so important. Photos and a mini documentary to meet this amazing Yanaomani culture.

Making our mini ecosystem of our own rain forest, with mini figurines and a bunch of diverse vegetation. Ceramic techniques (slabs, coils, pinch).
Wednesday:
Painting with underglazes and pure pigments like in that ancient Egypt (pieces will be fired that night).

Wheel throwing all day and making the structure of our mini world.
