Welcome to Year 3!

Autumn 1- Gods and Mortals

WOW Day 

Year 3 had a great start to our topic on Ancient Greece. We took an exciting flight to Greece, but not to modern-day Greece. Instead, we travelled back in time to Ancient Greece! The children were fully engaged as they explored different artefacts and learned that this period was a very long time ago, even before any of us were born. We learned that BC means "Before Christ" and that Ancient Greece existed during this time. Using modelling clay, the children experimented with different textures and explored what they could create to develop their pottery skills.

We looked at examples of Greek pottery and designed our own vases using traditional Greek patterns. The children created pictures on their pottery inspired by the Olympic Games and ancient Greek stories. In the afternoon, we went outside to take part in our own Olympic Games. The events included javelin, running, long jump, and horse and chariot racing. It was great fun, and everyone enjoyed experiencing what the Ancient Greek Olympics may have been like!
