Russian Blue (Cats) Page Spreads

Everyone worked really hard on them and created some work to feel really proud of. Click on a picture to see a larger version.

The Vikings are coming!
We had a lot of fun using air-drying clay to make Viking heads. It was very important to join the pieces of clay and blend together so that it dried as one piece. They look fantastic! Can you find yours?
