As part of our topic 'Life in the Freezer', Year 3 visited The Wilson Museum to learn about the Cheltenham explorer and artist Edward Wilson. We interacted with artifacts from the time of Wilson's life, found out about his expeditions to Antarctica, explored the museum and did some watercolour paintings in the style of Wilson.

The potter fired our clay pots and tiles in his kiln. Then, we painted them.

As part of our Greek day, a potter helped us throw a pot on a pottery wheel.

As part of our topic 'Into the Labyrinth', we had a Greek day. We dressed up in Ancient Greek clothes and made clay pots, tiles and Greek theatre masks. We also tasted Greek food.
