Making Canopic Jars part 2

Yesterday Year 4 enjoyed some sunshine while working on their Canopic jars.
The started these a few weeks ago but unfortunately the clay cracked and the pots became very fragile. Mr Walls thought long and hard and finally came up with a solution. He wrapped the jars in modrock bandages and when they were dry the children painted them a golden yellow.
