Two Crimson studied Ancient Greece in Term Three. We were
enthralled by the myth of Arachne forever doomed to weave only as a spider,
after her boastful claim as a human that she was a better weaver then the
goddess Athena.
Using gum tree sticks
and wool we wove our own webs and made plasticine spiders.
We enjoyed playing a weaving game at circle time - a fabulous
game of cooperation and coordination. One person holds the end of a ball of
wool. They throw the ball of wool across the circle. The other person must
catch the ball, hold onto a piece of the wool and then throw the ball back
across the circle. If you are wonderful at cooperating you end up with an
amazing web! (And yes, our photos show how wonderfully we cooperated).
Last term we had the opportunity to please Athena by making clay
owls, her precious symbol.
This Term we are studying the Environment. Using our skills
as web weavers and are marvellous cooperation, we have created this amazing
web. Our colour choices are planned. Do you know what the colours represent?
Now our owls can nest safely near our web. We hope you enjoy our
installation!
