Year 5
Ancient Greek pottery
In topic we are doing ancient Greece pottery. We have started to make our pottery - we got to choose if we wanted to be by ourselves or with partners. First we striped up pieces of newspaper. Then we all got a balloon and a cup of water. Then we dipped the newspaper in the water and stuck it on the balloon. Now we are waiting for it to dry now.

Ancient Greece
We have been working hard in the short amount of time that we have been back. We have been learning about Ancient Greece, and are getting to know the story of Perseus and Medusa very well! We have designed our own Medusa-like character (as shown in the picture), and are planning to write our own myth with the original story as inspiration. We enjoyed creating our own hideous mythical monsters!
In maths, we have been exploring numbers up to seven digits, and considering what one million of ‘something’ would look like. How tall would a tower of 1p coins be?
