Abigail enjoyed her first whole day (10-4) art class despite the unexpected absence of Amelie Aitkin her best friend from preschool last year. She did sewing (hand running stitch along the edge, pressed pedal of sewing machine while teacher guided fabric, stitched and stuffed a small owl) as well as drawing on the outside of the sketch book. Unfortunately the actual book was stitched in upside down by one of the adults. There was also a shoebox painted to be Mrs Owl's roost.
The next day, Amelie was there and Abigail happily helped her friend to get settled in to the place. By the end of the day the children had made: a "fossil" based on their own sketch and formed in clay mould which was then filled with plaster; a painting on unstretched canvas with a dinosaur outline; a paper painting of something abstract. The children were running around with exhaustion by 4pm.
