Who would have thought that a material like newspaper could construct a strong structure like a ship. To the children's amazement Darcy a visiting artist helped year 2 do this.
The children worked together demonstrating reciprocity, independence and great problem solving skills as they rolled and compressed newspapers in special machines invented by Darcy.
Then the sticks they made were fixed together using cable ties to create a sculpture of one of Christopher Columbus's ships.
The ship will spend its life in our outside environment where the children can enjoy it.
"I didn't realise paper could be so strong" said Lola.
