On Wednesday 27th November 2019, some of our year 6 pupils attended a fascinating pottery workshop in the northern suburbs where they got to experience the use of a potter's wheel and feel the texture of real, wet clay as it oozed between their fingers. Their studies of everyday life in Ancient Greece had led them to appreciate that pottery was not just art, but a way of life for the Ancient Greeks. However, as it is so unfamiliar to our modern hands which are more used to holding a smartphone than a raw material like malleable clay, it was all very exciting! History in real life is very engaging!
