The afternoon was also intended to give children cultural capital when it comes to the importance of clay in our locality giving them a chance to get hands on with clay. It was a wonderful afternoon with fantastic ideas coming from all the participants including creating a ‘cup full of knowledge’ and designing a lightbulb as teachers help to flourish ‘bright ideas’ from their class. There were also designs including: feathers to demonstrate how teachers are magic and can fly; bees because they are always busy; caterpillars and butterflies because they help you grow and even an alien design because teachers are OUT OF THIS WORLD! A big thank you to all the children, Trainees and staff for an amazing afternoon to launch this superb project. Release your superpower…TEACH!
