Clay Magic in 4th Class
Inspired by their study of Greek Mythology story “Theseus and the Minotaur” and by the beautiful picture book “Mary and Frankenstein” by Linda Bailey, accompanying their Over the Moon English reader, the children in 4th class created their own imaginative monster creations in clay today. Check out the photos below. Next week when they are dry they will add a splash of colour to the figures.
Creative Clay and Study of Egypt in Mr Cullen’s 3rd Class
Creation of Clay Animals:
This week in 3rd Class, the children have been exploring clay. They revised a variety of techniques, including moulding, pinching, and rolling, to create their own animal inspired clay pieces. The children really enjoyed the experience and were excited to learn a new technique called scoring, which they used to attach their pieces together successfully.
Exploring Ancient Egypt and Modern Egypt
In 3rd Class, the children have been learning about Ancient Egypt and comparing it with Egypt today. They explored famous landmarks such as the pyramids and the Sphinx and learned about the important role of pharaohs in Ancient Egyptian life, including the famous Queen Cleopatra. The children discovered how the River Nile was vital for farming, travel, and everyday life in both ancient and modern times. They also learned about cities in Egypt today, such as Cairo and Alexandria, as well as famous places and monuments across the country such as Mount Sinah. To finish, the children explored some popular Egyptian foods and enjoyed learning how food and daily life in Egypt have changed over time!
