Year 3 & 4: Greek Pots
In their history topic, the Year 3s and 4s have been studying Ancient Greece. In art, we have been making monster pots but in the last few lessons of the half-term, we are learning about Ancient Greek pots and creating a pot design of our own.

Finally, the children cut out their pot, stuck it to a black background and added a patterned border:
Here are some of the finished designs:
