Year 4 pupils at Woodlands Academy have been showcasing their creativity by designing and making their very own Easter jars.
Easter jars are decorative containers, typically made of glass or ceramic, used to store and display seasonal treats such as mini eggs, chocolates, and sweets. Popular during springtime, they often feature bunny-themed lids, pastel colours, and festive decorations.
As part of the project, pupils were challenged to first design their jars before bringing their ideas to life using Modroc – a plaster-impregnated gauze bandage ideal for quick and effective 3D modelling and sculpting.
After carefully constructing their jars, pupils then painted them with a wide variety of vibrant colours and imaginative designs. Each jar reflected the individuality and artistic flair of its creator, resulting in a fantastic collection of unique Easter-themed pieces.
Rebecca Floyd, Key Stage Two teacher, said: “This project has been a wonderful opportunity for pupils to explore their creativity and develop their design skills. They showed great enthusiasm throughout the process, and it has been fantastic to see their ideas come to life in such colourful and imaginative ways.”
