As part of our Flints and Stones topic, Year 3 have been learning about Cave Art and the resources Stone Age man had available to create art. We decided to immerse ourselves in our learning by creating our own Stone Age paintbrushes using the branches and leaves that we picked ourselves from the school field. We then used our paintbrushes to have a go at creating some Cave Art. It was challenging painting with our leafy brushes but we thoroughly enjoyed it!
To welcome the children back and hook them into our new topic, Great Gods and Mere Mortals, Year 3 had a Greek immersion day. As soon as the children arrived in the morning, we dressed them up as Ancient Greek citizens. We created leafy wreaths to wear and sang Greek themed songs. In the afternoon, we took the children into the hall and treated them to a culinary experience featuring a range of greek delicacies such as olives, feta cheese and tzatziki.
I am very impressed with Welford's very own Cave paintings-It looks like a fun activity and quite challenging, too.
