Art and Design
In Art and Design we have been looking an Ancient Greek vessels. The children have been learning about the different moulding, shaping and joining techniques when using malleable materials. Using salt dough the children created a pinch pot, coil pot and handles. Great work 4S!
Music
In music we have been learning about the pulse. The children worked hard to keep the pulse and count the beats. We looked at the importance of music, theatre and poetry to the ancient Greeks. In Greek mythology, we learnt that the nine muses were Greek goddesses who ruled over the arts and sciences. They were the daughters of Zeus, the king of the gods and the Titaness Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. The children worked hard singing, playing music and even Greek dancing to the pulse!
