Thank you and kind regards,
The Y3 Team
Details:
- When: Tuesday, March 11th (Y3C) and Thursday, March 13th (Y3H)
- Where: in-school
- What: clay workshop
- Unit of Inquiry Where we are in place and time: we are excited to share that in March, our Year 3 learners will participate in an engaging in-school clay workshop, led by the company Paci Terracotte. This experience will connect directly with our current Unit of Inquiry, Where we are in place and time, by exploring connections to the ancient world of Egypt. Clay played a significant role in Ancient Egyptian life, from pottery used in daily life to the creation of intricate artifacts and tomb decorations. Through this workshop, students will step back in time and experience firsthand how this natural material was used to shape history, culture, and expression. Clay is not just a medium for artistic exploration; it also supports sensory development, fine motor skills, and creative problem-solving. It encourages self-expression, builds self-esteem, and provides a calming and therapeutic experience for children.We look forward to seeing the creative masterpieces our Year 3 learners will produce and the connections they’ll make to the incredible world of Ancient Egypt!
Logistics:
- Program: the workshop will be in-school during school hours
- What to wear: students should come dressed in old, dark clothing. While aprons will be provided, working with clay can be messy, and their clothes may get dirty
What to do if:
- My child can’t participate: if it’s either a scheduled absence or your child is sick, please inform us as soon as possible. Please note: the educational visit is effectively part of the didactic programme of the school. For this reason, we expect all students to participate.
Payment and confirmation:
- Daily trips are included in the “2024-25 daily trips” payment so no extra payment is needed for this trip.
