'This week in Art, we had a fantastic time creating our own Greek pottery out of clay! Since we’ve been learning about Greek mythology in English, we linked our art lessons to this theme by exploring ancient Greek pottery.

We started by looking at real examples of Greek pots and vases. Many of them were decorated with pictures of gods, mythical creatures, and scenes from famous myths. Inspired by these, we designed our own pottery pieces.

Using clay, we shaped our pots carefully — though it did get a little messy (especially when we added too much water!). Some of us made tall vases, while others created small bowls. We finished them off with patterns and drawings just like the ancient Greeks did.

Everyone really enjoyed the activity and learned how art can help tell stories from the past.
