Year 5 had a fantastic time visiting The Activity Box this week. Inspired by Ancient Greek pottery, the children designed and created their own unique vases using clay. Their creations will now be fired in the kiln and, as part of their Greek Day at the end of Term 6, the children will have the opportunity to paint them and take them home. A big thank you to the staff at The Activity Box — it was a wonderful experience that brought their Ancient Greek learning to life!
