Year 3: Seaside Mosaics

September 25, 2020

In Literacy, Year 3 have been reading different stories about the seaside. 

We have been discussing the fun activities to do at the beach such as building sandcastles. Year 3 discovered that the tallest sandcastle ever built was almost 17m! Following on from this, the children made fantastic and unique mosaics of their own sandcastles using different coloured card in their weekly Art lesson. 

The children really enjoyed learning all about the history of mosaics and learnt that the Romans created mosaics for different purposes. For example to act as signs to warn people of their pet dogs! Well done Year 3! ​
