To finish off our topic ‘Inspiring Innovators’, we looked at William Caxton. Caxton invented the printing press. So, it was only right to have a go at foam board printing ourselves. The children had to create their own design on card and copy this down on the foam. This was quite a skill to ensure to press hard enough to make a pattern but not too hard that it breaks! They then mixed their own colour paints, used the rollers and printed their art work. In the end, we had all created our own wallpaper prints!
