Year 3 Ancient Greece Immersion Day

To introduce our Ancient Greece topic, Year 3 enjoyed an Immersion Day where they learned about-

• The origins of Greek healers and medicine
• Ancient Greek clothing and used their design and technology skills
• Why the Olympics began and they participated in different Olympics sports
• Explored their drama skills by performing a Greek play 

Year 3 Prehistoric art

As part of Year 3's Early History topic, they learned about cave art.

They explored unfamiliar artwork and identified shapes within objects to produce abstract sketches.

They used natural materials to create different colours and explored materials to create chosen effects. 

For their final pieces they worked in groups to created large abstract images to display as if in a prehistoric cave.
