Project Curious George: It's Growing!

After forming mud into rectangles, we had to bake our bricks to make them strong and resistant to rain. The preparation for this step involved some axes flying through the air.

The bricks are stacked into piles that serve as kilns, and wood burns inside...all day and all night.

Students were not overly excited to be at school at 11pm on a Saturday, but they immediately cheered up when the camera came out.

When the bricks have cooled for a few days, they are ready to be organized into walls!
