One of our learning journey questions has been - Where did the Olympics come from?
So, this week we have been finding out!
We have started by finding Greece on a world map and then used information and books to help us create a 3D sculpture of Greece. We had to look at the atlas very carefully and we noticed that the brown areas were higher than the green areas. We worked hard at creating this in our sculptures by building up certain areas.
We got very sticky and messy!
We then started to think about why they held the Olympics and which Ancient Greek gods were important. We learnt about 4 of them and even interviewed them!
Finally, this week we have been developing our clay skills and learning how to knead, roll and shape the clay. We have created faces of the Gods and we even learnt how to roll things like strands of hair and then attach them using water.
Have a look!
