Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 3 Cultural And Creative Arts. In our previous lesson, we learned about Clay Preparation. Today, we’re going to learn about moulding household utensils.

Objectives

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to: * Identify and name three household utensils. * Mention the steps involved in moulding. * Demonstrate proper kneading and moulding techniques.

Moulding Household Utensils

Moulding household utensils is a fun and creative activity that allows us to use our hands to make useful objects. We can use clay to create different shapes and forms, like cups, flower vases, and dishes.

What is Moulding?

Moulding is the process of shaping clay into a desired form using our hands and tools. It involves kneading the clay to make it soft and pliable, then using our hands and tools to create the desired shape.

Steps in Moulding

There are several steps involved in moulding household utensils, and they are:

1. Introduction: We start by discussing the different types of household utensils we will be moulding.
2. Collection of Clay: We gather the clay and prepare it for moulding. This involves removing any impurities and ensuring it is the right consistency.
3. Kneading of Clay: We knead the clay to make it soft and pliable. This helps to remove any air bubbles and makes it easier to work with.
4. Moulding: We use our hands and tools to shape the clay into the desired form. This is where we get creative and bring our ideas to life.
5. Cleaning up the space: After we finish moulding, we clean up our workspace and dispose of any leftover clay properly.

• Cups
