Out and About the School
KIAH
Making Pinch Pots
Throughout lunch times, many students visited KIAH and loved making their own special clay pot in KIAH. They were taught the ‘pinch pot’ technique to make the shape and then used two different tools to imprint designs into the pot. A pinch pot is a simple form of hand-made pottery produced from ancient times to the present. The pinching method is where students use their hand to pinch and mould the clay into a shallow pot shape.
Students returned for an extra session to decorate their pinch pot with paint. They shared what they were going to use their pinch pot for. Some were for giving mum a ‘special gift’ while other students were going to keep little trinkets, rocks, stones or jewellery in it.

Birthday Food
Please keep in mind we have children in every grade across the school who have particular food allergies. Some of these are very serious and we need to keep everyone safe. The best options for a class birthday treat at school are water icy poles or a lollipop per child. It is best to avoid cakes, muffins etc. We appreciate your support in this area.
