Paper sculpture

Stratford Primary School

Working with a teaching assistant, a class of Key Stage 2 (8-11 years) pupils from Stratford Primary School, Stratford-upon-Avon, made a life-sized paper sculpture of 'The Marquise de Seignelay and Two of her Sons'.

They learnt modelling techniques, how to translate a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional free-standing structure, and how to negotiate the best use of a variety of children's skills within a team.
